A lovely weekend with an old dear friend and her family in Lake Tahoe. It was a weekend full of: mid-afternoon raindrops at Fallen Leaf Lake followed by a vanilla ice cream cone, running into the water throwing rocks, pushing Thomas the Train, Paloma squealing with delight while Zealand "chases" her up the stairs, grilled chicken and hamburgers, a long morning at Lake Tahoe making sandcastles, exploring the edge of the lake, collecting rocks, picnic on blankets, ice cream cones at Camp Richardson, a run behind the house for the mamas, cold beers on the porch in the sun, Raquel's first meatballs, stargazing at night with the daddy's, Thomas the Train carwash, a nature hike with Paloma, Zealand, and Duane, and a delicious homemade lemon curd tart. All of this ended with a hug from Paloma to Zealand with sweet heartfelt words said between big tears rolling down her cheeks: "I am going to miss you Za Za." It brought tears to the rest of our eyes. So innocent, tender, and precious. Zealand is very lucky to have captured the heart of Paloma who is a very special, silly, and kind three year old. Wonderful memories.
