Our first camping trip after school ended was to Fallen Leaf Lake. It is an amazing lake and campground right next to Lake Tahoe. We borrowed a friend's tent-trailer and loved it so much we had our own a few weeks later. This place was beatiful and there are bear sightings almost every day--we did not see one:(
Another view of the family in the tent trailer. I grew up in Alaska and actually resented these and other RVs because it seemed like everytime I turned around my favorite camping spots were paved under to make room (sorry Beyer's Lake). With a family and California, I now don't mind so much.
The better looking part of the family walking toward the lake.
Beautiful. The family and the mountains. You can see the snow. The weather was nice, but cold at night.
My favorite shot.
Another favorite of my favorite people.
Here we have bundled up for dinner. A wonderful tinfoil dinner made in the dutch over. We love dutch oven cooking by the way.
Some yummy bread we made in the dutch oven being held by my beautiful bride.
Peach and strawberry cobler (dutch over of course). So good.
It got cold enough we moved inside--though it may have been less about the cold and more about being in the tent trailer. The kids love it too.
Getting ready to fish. This end of the lake was very shallow for about 30 yards. Hard to fish. But fun to spend time together.

We took an adventuresome hike through a gully to a dam where the lake runs into a stream heading toward Lake Tahoe. No fishing in the stream until July 1. Looked like the fishing would have been good too.
Playing one of our new favorite past times. Callie and Hayden cannot get enought Uno.
