Last Saturday when we were all feeling well, I suggested that we find a lake to go play in for the afternoon. Everyone liked the idea and we made dinner and snacks and packed up the car with all the essentials for a lake visit. We had never been there and didn't know what to expect, but we were determined to have a good time even if the lake was a flop. We decided on Bullards Bar Reservoir. It is just past Camp Bountiful in the Tahoe National Forest. The trees were so beautiful and we got the see the smoke from the forest that was on fire just a couple ridge tops over.
We got to the lake and found that you don't have to pay to use the lake. But you have to hike down, down, down to the lake. The shore was carved in large steps to get down to the water. And if you decide to go, bring a beach umbrella to sit under, there are no trees by the water. The dog and the kids had so much fun. It was fun to watch Oakley realize she is a dog that should be able to swim in a lake. This is the first time we have ever taken her out to a water source that she could not touch the bottom. At first she did the panic swim, but a few tries and she got out and would swim all over. The kids had a blast and they loved the water. Christian loved the water as much as the kids did.
