4th of July in Tahoe

We spent the 4th of July weekend up in Tahoe with the Katzin's and it was all sorts of F-U-N...especially for Maggie. She roller skated for the first time - and lemme tell you, watching those little stick legs try to balance on heavy skates was PRICELESS. She even looked the part with her headband & mini skirt!

We rode the 'gone-go-la' to the top of the mountain for a picnic where we hung in the sky swinging on the biggest swing of her life, aka the gondola...



I think one of my most favorite moments was after a long disappearance & spell of silence from Maggie she emerged (after being all cleaned up in the tub) with what seemed to be the entire tube of sunscreen LATHERED all over her face. She walked out all serious and I took one loooooong silent look at her, and she then responded, 'I'm sorry mommy.'

Oh, and let me not forget to mention that Joel taught her how to play her first video game - Katamari. The best, and most laughable moment from me, was when the 2 of them were found bickering over whose turn it was to play!

And as the crow flies, we are 2 for 2 on vacations this year with Maggie getting sick. She woke in the middle of the last nite there throwing up. She caught some stomach bug & couldn't make it to her brother's baptism. Lets cross our fingers for our beach trip coming up....

And I cannot not tag in with a CLASSIC Maggie comment! Charlie was getting a little naked time, and Maggie came across him laying there and kinda stopped in her tracks...looked at him for a minute & then said 'hey, look. he has a bunny.' :)
