Grover Hot Springs

Grover Hot Springs, a campground near Lake Tahoe, has been a family camping destination for decades.  I turned two the first time I went!  Our little family actually went this year, but stayed in a cute little motel close by so I wouldn't have to nurse a newborn in a cold tent in the middle of the night.  :)

We left at 6am on July 4th.  Aila slept most of the way, and Abram didn't sleep at all but was an angel the whole time; so excited for our "benture." (Adventure)  The second day we were there, he woke up and said, "Where's my benture?"  He had a blast being outdoors with so many family members he loves.  Aila did pretty well the whole time, even though it was super hot.  She made almost every picture--everyone wanted a turn to hold her (she turned 8 weeks the day we got there).

This was the morning after we got home at midnight.  Abram got to hang out with Daddy while they let me sleep in.  :)

You need the pictures of Abram when you guys first got there and he had a black face within 20 seconds. I guess they're only on our camera?

Yes, only on your camera. You should send them to me!

I love the way you talked about the hammock. "Where my brothers sleep despite the bear warnings." My thoughts exactly!
