Lake Tahoe

My family spent the week in South Lake Tahoe to celebrate my dad's 60th birthday.  What a blessing it was to have us all there under one roof as this doesn't happen very often.  Mom had us going nonstop with a fun adventure everyday...gondola ride, shopping, eating, bike riding, eating, paddle boating, eating, parasailing, trout fishing, eating, MS Dixie tour, hiking, putt putt golfing, eating.  This was typical Chao fashion - nothing but the best and LOTS of yummy food. 

Brad and I were the last to leave.  As we sat outside eating our apples, we over looked serene lake and just thanked God for giving us such a beautiful setting to share sweet memories.

Until Christmas...

Happy to the 4th

Last weekend we spent fourth of July cooking out with friends, watching Lesnar choke out Carwin during UFC 116, playing beer pong like we were back in college and soaking up some sun in Sausalito with the fam.  Couldn't have asked for more!  Well, it would have been cool if it were a clear night so we could actually see the fireworks.  The burst of lights through the city fog and loud bang, whizzes & cracks were all San Fran had to offer.
