If you look carefully on the hills in the background, you will see snow right near the top of the trees.
Imagine how cold this water would be as fresh mountain snow run off. Nobody was swimming. That is for sure.

Doesn't this look like a fun place to hang out?

The Zack's took us to Alpine Lake for a walk around these sights. I love the serenity of this place. Kate said the water level was super high this year and that most all of the beaches are underwater. The Kayak life is something I would love to do on a regular basis someday when I save my pennies for one of these things. I want one with an outrigger and pedals as well as oars. When we kayaked in Avalon last summer I flipped the boat twice in really COLD water and thus I would feel more stable with that outrigger.

Here is the lift area and the magic carpet ride for the bunny hill. That is a lot of snow for July 10th.

We got the personal tour of Bear Valley Ski Resort. It actually still has snow in many places above this photo. July 10th and there was still snow.

Now we are behaving like adults can. We love spending time with our silly neighbors' Jim and Kate.

Friends' behaving badly. We spent Saturday night at Jim and Kate's cabin in Arnold this weekend in the Sierra Mountains. Even though this queen doesn't cook, I actually made Cuban Curried Chicken to bring up for us to have for dinner. It think it made have made us all giddy. Hey kids, were the spices really that hot? Looks like you are all letting off some steam or something. Honestly folks, some kids never grow up!
