Back to Tahoe/Northstar...and introducing a new activity: Lake Lounging

I have to start this post with the best picture of the weekend first...
The boys really turned it on this weekend! Here's Dano riding the rock wall at Northstar...
Marlon on the rock wall...
Dan defies gravity
Again...
Jeremy "Thumper" thumps off the same jump
And Marlon Monroe also, because all his friends were doing it...
Dan on Livewire. Only like, the most awesome bike trail in the world (the world I'VE seen, anyway)
Marlon
And if you need a man with mad skills, look no further than my man. He is... SKILLMAN.
Back at our friends' lake house Daren and Julie... we had some cute creatures come visit
But the cutest creature we saw was DEFINITELY Jessie...
Where did Jesse go?
We enjoyed sunset booze cruises around the lake with our friends. Even Jenn and Grayson came down from Chico.

We enjoyed leasurly slept-in mornings lakeside and I made breakfast for everyone
The KIDS TABLE.
Dan gets ready to lounge some more.
The boys prepare for their turn on the infamous MOLECULE of destruction
Sending Hansel and Zoolander off on their ride wearing the latest Deralict (Deralake) fashions

I got a black eye on this monster last year because I made a bet with Daren that he couldn't buck me off the MOLECULE for a full turn around the lake... I bet him that big rubber duckie. I got a black eye, bruised muscles and no duckie. I fell off just 100 feet shy of my target!
Julie was driving so she was nice to the boys... no black eyes but they still had a white knuckle grip on the thing
Never miss a cute photo op with your hot friends. (Especially the redhead!)
Grayson won the trophie that weekend. Stood up and everything. But no rubber duckie.
SO much fun!
My love
Just one of Daren and Julie's neighbors. It's a rough life when you have a mansion on the lake...
Pose-ops. Jenn
Marlon Monroe
Jerecobra
Grayson
Jenn and I
Jesse prepared appetizers for all of us. Who wants to wear the purple beads next?
Thank you so much Daren and Julie for letting us stay at your lake home! We had so much fun, as usual... see you soon! Oh, by the way, we are stealing Jesse.

Last trip to Mammoth of the season... say it isn't so!!!

We found ourselves back at the Village in Mammoth and riding the mountain with our friends Marlon and Jeremy... Lots of great memories at this village! This trip was all about riding. And going big. The boys really stepped it up!

And got some big air! (Marlon)
Jeremy (I didn't have the camera ready when Dano flew off of this)
Dano on the newest feature... the sideways ramp. SO awesome!

Jeremy
We contemplate the huge drop on "FLOW."

Only DANOmyte dared to do it. He bombed it!
I took some video of the boys on two of the greatest features on Mammoth.

70s Flashback at Mick's Birthday party

The sun had not even gone down yet, but the guests were getting down. Waaaay down.

Groovy baby, YEAH!
Keeping up with the Jones'. Rick Jones and his lovely wife.
The men brought both SEXY and the 70s back. And let's just say that most of these outfits were not bought...they were dug out of people's closets... or people's parents closets... Dano's outfit came straight out of his dad's closet... I bet John looked smashing in that! I'm glad he never got rid of it!

Dan (on the left in case you didn't recognize him bringing back his curls) and Mick the bday boy (in orange) and Brendon, aka, Bones, in yellow. I don't remember the guys' in blue's names, but the one with the pink hair said his father got married in that blue number... YESSSS!!!
Congratulating the bday boy. Yes, that is his real hair...
Mick's daughter Michelle and wife Laura. LOVE 'em!
My disco man!

Dan's riding buddies...
I'll have you know that Dan and I went on to win the DANCE CONTEST. Groovy baby!
Mick's 15 year old son, Matt. That is his real hair, also. He's so tall! I was in 3 inch heels! A very clever bunch came in dressed as a six-pack of Mickey's Big Mouths. Of course by the time this picture was taken, 3 beers had been drank.
The scene in Mick and Laura's back yard... pretty darn nice!
Oh yeah baby. Bringing down the house on the stage!
The bday boy surrounded by rollerskate chicks... and...


Bringin' it during the dance contest



Our first place prize was Farrah Faucet's classic poster. YEAH! Just what I wanted to put right next to my corkboard and my nerf football net!
My husband is so freakin' funny...

Jeff look-alike spotted in Tavern

Is it just me... Or does this look EXACTLY like Jeffe?
I mean, seriously... Jeff, when did you start doing Beer Ads?

No, I'm not even mad, I'm Impressed... (In your best Anchorman Ron Burgundy voice)
