The whole Burton/McConnell Family packed their bags and met in Lake Tahoe for an awesome family fun trip! My wonderful parents and all of my siblings (sans the 3 boys on missions) were able to go, 22 people total!!
Let me just say this. . .Lake Tahoe is BE-U-TIFUL! We had never been there before and this is defiantly a place we will be going back to in the future. We loved it. The weather was perfect, the scenery was gorgeous, and there was so many fun things to do and see. Here is just a few things we did:
Relaxing by the Pool
Who doesn't love doing this? Eli and I hung out on the comfy chairs and watched all the cousins party in the pool. . . pure entertainment.
Boat Ride to Emerald Cove
We all boarded the MS Dixie II boat for an awesome ride on the lake. We got to see Emerald Cove, (apparently the 2nd most photographed place in the US).
The Beach
Ahhh, the beach. There's something so relaxing about hearing the sound of the small waves crashing on the shore. The water in Lake Tahoe is soooo blue and clear! Zach said to me, "I know this sounds weird, but you should just take a swig of the lake water." Ummm, no thanks!
Eli in a Pink onesie. Why you ask? Well, we had been out and about this whole day doing things, Eli had already had a blowout and the onesie that I kept in my diaper bag had already gone to use for that. When we were at the beach he had another blowout! Thankfully, Eli's cousin Brynn had an extra pink onesie (thanks Hillary). Eli and Brynn are only 3 weeks apart, she was only two weeks old on this vacation and both she and Eil were super good!
Heavenly Village Gondola Ride
Our hotel was in Heavenly Village in South Lake Tahoe. We literally walked right outside the hotel doors and boarded the gondola for a 20 minute ride up the mountain. After a quick stop for some photos, we continued up and had lunch at the top. We had some awesome views of the massive lake.
Zach and Eric both share the same birthday, which happened to be while we were there. We celebrated at one of the local restaurants.
Love this little guy
Grammy Debi bought all the grandkids cute matching pajamas
She also had the great idea for this photo. . . Eli is number 9
Thanks Dad and Debs for one of the best trips ever!

Do you think I can be adopted by your family? That trip looks like a blast! I'm impressed that you traveled with Eli being so little, he must be a good little guy.
