Lake Tahoe 2012

We were able to hold the first Remington Family Reunion this year at Lake Tahoe. We all stayed in a big cabin that fit my whole immediate family and their kids. We tried to plan as much as we could with transporting over 20 people around. Here are some of the highlights with max's cousins.
This is a picture of Emerald bay!
Max and Luke sword fighting!
The cousins had the most fun on this trip. They all got along really well and enjoyed waking up to each other each day. I loved seeing max get so excited with his cousins. It made the whole trip worth it.
We went to a famous park that had a creek with a salmon run taking place. A salmon run is where salmon travel in the thousands upstream to lay there eggs. There were so many fish and we even got to see the eggs up close. Max was just about to touch the eggs in this picture, and we all scared him by yelling no at the same time.
One of our last major activities was stopping at a beach on lake Tahoe. Even though it was chilly when you weren't in the sun, it was warm enough to enjoy digging at the beach and playing in the sand. Some crazy family members even got in the water.

Halloween 2012

We had a Great Halloween! Luke and I had more fun watching max be excited and run around the neighborhood than I think Max did getting the candy! We decided to carve pumpkins with Max before Halloween. All I can say about that is these pictures speak for themselves about all the emotions max felt during this new experience.
These pictures really made me appreciate and enjoy for the first time the many emotions that a 2 year old can experience in a very short period of time. Suprise, joy, skepticism, fear and all out terror in a matter of seconds. Lol Max finally got to run around the neighborhood with his cousins Tanner and Reagan. They were so ready to go and get candy.
