Tingey Family Reunion - Lake Tahoe

We spent last weekend in Lake Tahoe with Thor's family at the Tingey family reunion. This is Ralph's side of the family and they are a ton of fun. Here's a series of shots from our weekend.

This was the view from our room where we stayed in Tahoe. Thor's aunt and uncle (Judy and Grant) are care takers of a condo complex on the lake and since the fall is the slow season the entire family can stay there with them in the empty condos - it is a lot of fun!


Ralph, Thor, myself, and Thor's cousin, Liz. We hiked up the Flume Trail to Marlette Lake on Friday and then ate lunch on these great rock outcrops. (A neat side note is that Liz just started her own non-profit group called Iris, VSI. Visit her website, www.irisvsi.org, for more information on how she partners with foreign NGO's.


Saturday was Thor's aunt, Mardie's, 50th birthday. To help celebrate we all went out to breakfast at a little restaurant on the lake called The Log Cabin. We had to sit at a couple different tables -- here is Thor's cousin, Amelia, her husband, Justin, and their son, Henry. Their daughter, Bea, is in her carrier on the floor next to Amelia.


From the far left and moving clock-wise: Ralph, Ralph's cousin Linda, Linda's husband Garry, myself, Thor, Thor's cousin Katie, and Mardie (Katie's mom).


We went to watch the sunset one night and went out to sit on these great rocks for the show!

The sunset itself - we had a beautiful, clear (mostly) evening.


Here's a shot of everyone who was at the reunion. This year was a record turnout for them!
