Lake Tahoe Nielsen Family Trip

Brady's parents invited us all to meet in Lake Tahoe for a week in the summer.
We all came from all over to have a good time with everyone.  We are all spread out so it's always fun when we can get together.

The resort we stayed at was so big and nice.  Jackson loved the pools with the slide.

Brady needed a haircut, so I cut it in our suite, and his mom took this picture

We went to dinner together at a really nice place... 
we sort of felt underdressed but the food was so good!





We did so much from playing tennis, to swimming a lot, to the carnival, to going into the city, to watching the fireworks downtown, to fishing a lot, to Jackson catching his first fish with his newly bought lefty fishing pole Brady got him, to family pictures, pizza, a hike, ice cream, SUPing on the lake, kayaking, exploring new areas, jumping in the freezing lake, falling asleep early most nights because we were always so busy to eating steak caesar salad everyday by the pool, watching sandlot in the water, to lots of mommy + Jackers time while everyone was watching the World Series.... it was a good time!  Jackson didn't want to leave and we didn't want him to either.  Lots of his tears were coming down when we drove him to be picked up.  We loved having him with us!




Kip was so good with teaching Jackson to fish and then Brady would be really patient with Jackson, helping him reel the fish in.



We did the treetop activity with most of the family up in the mountains.  I wasn't feeling super good so Grandpa went for me and Jackson loved it!

On the 4th, we went down to play soccer at a field.  It was so hot!






 





Gramma B gave him a Brazil jersey that Jackson just loves.
