This weekend, the family and I headed over to Lake Tahoe for the day. It was a gorgeous day complete with a layer of fresh snow. It wasn't much snow- just a dusting- but the crisp and cold air brought a nice change from the heat of summer. The changing trees were awesome- we saw yellows, oranges, reds and variations therein. Our main goal was to see the trees- but we had an extra surprise waiting for us there- they were having the 18th annual Kokanee Salmon Festival. It actually turned out to be a really neat thing to see. We learned about the cycles of the fish from birth to death and saw a ton of them in the creek there. They only have a few weeks before they spawn and die off. They are solely freh-water salmon that go between the creek and Lake Tahoe. The kids had fun throwing rocks in the water and seeing all the fish. They also got some freebees and got to make some salmon necklaces.
After, we took the kids to McDonald's where we let the kids play for a long time in the inside playground. We then took a drive on up to just beyond the Nevada state line. The lake was beautiful.
Had a lazy drive home and then ordered in food from GoodFella's Italian restaurant for dinner.
It was a good day.
