Summer Vaca

We spent a wonderful week at Donner Lake with my family, a Britts tradition. Some highlights include- morning walks, playing cards, eating dinners on the deck, watching the cousins play, biking with Matt, and renewing my membership of the Buoy Club (something my mom started:) Before heading up there though, Matt and I celebrated our 7 year anniversary. My parents babysat while we enjoyed a delicious, slow dinner out at The Firehouse, in Old Sac. Note: If you ever go, make sure to request the patio- much better ambiance than inside.


Donner was quite a bit cooler this year than other years. Despite the cold cold water, we couldn't keep Kylie out of it. Her teeth would be chattering and her body turning blue and still running for the water.


She even let Uncle Jim push her to the dock in her little boat to say hi to Daddy.


Ky and I enjoyed a super fun and unexpected visit with Cara and Kayli who were in Truckee the same time- just a 10 min. drive.


The kiddos loved playing on our big deck.


We hiked the Pacific Crest Trail and for the most part, these 2 did great on the hike and were definitely patient while we got ready for the hike.


We even had to hike through some snow!


Gorgeous views!

Grandma and Grandpa babysat so the 4 of us could enjoy a fun evening out at a great restaurant in downtown Truckee.


Matt even managed to do an Olympic distanced triathlon on our trip. He did great! 3rd guy out of the water on the swim and 5th in his age group- woohoo!


Homestretch, GO Matt GO!


So nice to get away for a week! Getting home at 1AM was exhausting and no fun but we did get to stop and see the Lockridges and their beautiful new home which was a blast! We miss them so much already.
