The Blackburn Five: Spring Break 2008 Part 2

This is our 4th (my 5th) time to be lucky enough to get to go to the one of the most beautiful places on earth...Glenbrook, Nevada on Lake Tahoe. I love this place, the setting is so peaceful & relaxing and the scenery is just breathtaking. When I'm there I feel like I'm in a fairytale land. Rebecca & Greg were kind enough to be our hosts for the second year in a row at Greg's mom's gorgeous cottage home there. We had so much fun being together. We excercised more than I've ever excercised in my life in a matter of 4.5 days...a minimum of 3x a day, doing some videos, lifting weights, and taking brisk walks...we promised mom we wouldn't let her go a day without exercise and we didn't! We played board games and lots of cards-Rebecca taught us how to play Hearts. Greg & I made sure we all had our daily dose of sugar by making oatmeal chocolate chip cookies every night...they were amazing! The week started out really cold with snow still on the ground, so Charlie and the kids made a little snow fort/tunnel outside by the house. One day Greg, Charlie & I took a hike in the snow up to Shakepeare Mountain but I don't have those pics. yet...I'll post them when I get them...it was gorgeous up on the mountain and so funny freaking ourselves out about the possiblity of running into a bear. The kids had a blast playing together and having fun w/ all the toys Grandma brought for them too (see pics. below). Everything about it was positive, we just had a wonderful time and can't wait to go again! Thankyou Rebecca & Greg for having us, we had so much fun and loved spending time with you, we miss living so close and seeing you often. Here are some of the photos we took:
