Vacation part four: Tahoe
July 22nd, 2008 by Todd JohnsonVacation Part three: Tahoe
I am thankful! Whatever it was that set me back on Saturday subsided enough to allow me to pack a car and tote the family up the hill to Tahoe for a couple of days.
Thank you for the prayers!!!
I can’t tell you how grateful I am to have had the opportunity to enjoy two nights in a cabin next to the Lake due to the generosity of a family within our church. They have given us the use of their cabin several times now in the winter, and this time in the summer, and I must say that it was even better in the summer.
Within walking distance was the lakeshore, a massive and warm pool, a pier, fanny bridge, and shops.
We were swimming, biking and walking non-stop! The highlight for me was hopping on the bike after dinner each night and following my daughter Makenzie to Fanny Bridge to look over at the ginormous fish below. Special times with my daughter.
Caleb brought his friend Zach, and together they spent the majority of their time under the pier catching crawdads. 
I googled the cooking process and we boiled them (adding cayenne pepper) and dipped those little tails in butter and the boys ate with all the pride of young conquerers.
Good times!!!
We came home Tuesday night and spent the day Wednesday regrouping for the next wave of our time off… grandma’s house in So Cal. More on that later…

Verse of the Week
“Dear children, don’t let anyone deceive you about this: When people do what is right, it shows that they are righteous, even as Christ is righteous. 8 But when people keep on sinning, it shows that they belong to the devil, who has been sinning since the beginning. But the Son of God came to destroy the works of the devil. 9 Those who have been born into God’s family do not make a practice of sinning, because God’s life is in them. So they can’t keep on sinning, because they are children of God. 10 So now we can tell who are children of God and who are children of the devil. Anyone who does not live righteously and does not love other believers does not belong to God”

Some of those crawdads look pretty big! I have precious memories of catching them and contributing to the pot that same evening. Morgan, you’re the best!
