Life lately....

Well, the last few weeks have been busy and fun.  Sorry for the lack of posts.  Here's the recap...

A few weekends ago, we had a perfect fall weekend.  I was able to do some mountain biking... we viewed the salmon swimming upstream to spawn... and did a little paddleboarding on Echo Lakes.

Sunday, we spent the day at Apple Hill which is an area of orchards about an hour west of Tahoe.  We bought apple dumplings, apple cake, and an apple pie for thanksgiving (all homemade of course)... followed by some wine tasting.  

Last weekend we were in NC!  It was great to be back but it was a whirlwind trip.  We landed late Friday night, had my cousins wedding on Saturday, visited Mike's family on Sunday, and flew out EARLY Monday morning.  It was a great trip but it went by VERY fast. 

We came home to find LOTS of snow on the ground.  We stopped by Taylor creek to see if the bears were eating the salmon and sure enough... 

This weekend was a little more laid back... and we really needed that.  Saturday I was still able to do some paddleboarding with our roommate, Karyn (she's a PT student staying with us for 8 weeks).  And we all did some mountain biking Saturday afternoon (even Mike with his gimpy shoulder... you can see his video on facebook).
