After we all woke up it was down to the Cubhouse for the kids to have Cereal and Cartoons. The kids played for a few minutes and then we tried to decide what to do for the day. A boat ride to Emerald Bay was on the list, but not after the kids and I went for a swim in the pool. We had a pretty good time. I became a water taxi for the kids, they met a friend, we sat in the hot tub. It was a pretty good time. After swimming we had a quick lunch that would have been better if we had more time for it, but we misjudged our time a little and had to leave without experiencing it fully. We had to leave because we had to catch our shuttle for the M.S. Dixie II ride across Lake Tahoe (Thanks Dan). After boarding we were off on our "cruise." It was nice to wander the boat and enjoy the lovely views of the beautiful blue Lake Tahoe. Our 2 hour tour that turned around in Emerald Bay was a lot of fun. The kids had a good time. It was really pretty and amazing. Another neat thing about the cruise was a guy that worked for the boat looked like Mark Twain and told some facts about the area. I had that moment of wanting to stay here longer. I know we have to get back to Utah, but I could come back here and do a lot of things like standup paddle boarding and kayaking.

After the tour and the shuttle back to the hotel we drove up to Kings beach to meet Kim (cousin) and Ian. We got there a little early so we hung out on the beach for a few minutes. Then we ate with them at a place called Jason's grill. It was good. The kids had a great time talking with somebody other than us. It was really nice to see them and talk with them for a while. Thanks Kim and Ian. After dinner we walked over to the beach and saw a few bats flying in the air. That was a neat for us to see. One other cool thing about the day was when we were getting on the shuttle to ride back to the hotel one of the other guests stopped us and told us that he was impressed with the kids. He told us they were very well behaved. That made us feel good.
Tomorrow we make a short move over to the GRC for one night. During the day we are going to hang out here, do a few activities and maybe go to the beach.
