Lake Tahoe Trip 2009

Delicious dinner at Zephyr Cove. We spent the day at South Shore.
The beach at 999


I made Mama Streiff's German Apple Pancakes for breakfast!! YUMMMM

The Kaiser Estate where the Godfather II was filmed

Brandon putting together a lamp that was missing parts. He is so crafty

Shanna decided to put fresh paint in the livingroom. It looks so much better!

We went to the top of Heavenly Valley in South Shore. We rode the gondola then a chairlift to the top and took the zip line down. We ended up at the top in a rain storm and it got pretty chilly. As soon as we got to the bottom the sun came out and it was beautiful again. Go figure!!! It was an experience!!

We took the tour of the Thunderbird Lodge




A 600 foot tunnel underground between the buildings of the estate

The Thunderbird boat. It has two Allison airplane engines. George Whittel hid it during the war to keep the government from taking it from him for the war effort.
