Gavin loves to play with this little basketball hoop. He also loves to cheer for himself! He can get pretty loud. I get a kick out watching him!

Beach Fun
Gorilla Crawler
When Gavin started moving around in June he army crawled. At the beginning of July he spent one day crawling the normal crawl. Then the next day he started doing the little gorilla crawl. He has not crawled on both knees since that one day. He also has a little sit spin where he sits on his buns and turns himself around with his legs. You can see him do both the gorilla crawl and the little sit spin in this video.

Grass Valley
After Lake Tahoe, we drove two hours to visit the Papa family.
We put the kids in a little pool out back, but Gavin's swim diapers were buried too far in the car for me to dig out. His regular diaper was filled to the max with pool water. Pretty Sweet!

We stayed at a couple of hotels on our way home. One in northern cali as we were visiting the Papa's and one on our way home in Selma to break up the trip.

Emerald Bay - Lake Tahoe
Emerald Bay was really pretty. We dropped Tyrus, Jeff, and Katelynne off at a beach a few miles north of Emerald Bay. They kayaked from the other beach and met us at Emerald Bay. We had a nice relaxing time at the beach. The hike up and down though is ridiculous. It took us about 45 minutes to hike from the beach up to the parking lot. Jeff and Tyrus were carrying the kayaks and it was really hard. Finally a couple of guys caught up to them and offered to help. It was really nice.
You'll notice a pic of Kylie and Jeffrey wearing life jackets on dry land. That is when we are hiking to the parking lot and trying to lighten our loads. Rachel also wore one the life vests and carried a bag. Sherrilynne had about a million bags that she carried. Alyssa carried Jeffrey and he fell asleep. Katelynne carried the oars. I pushed Gavin in the umbrella stroller (which was loaded with bags also) with one hand and held Kylie's other hand to keep up her pace. She walked the whole distance except for about 5 minutes towards the end where I carried her and still pushed the stroller. It was quite a hike, but lots of fun.
