Heiser lake - backpacking with children 4. - 6. 7. 2018

We like camping, but we love backpacking more! So we wanted to try to go backpacking again this year with both children. It was little bit more challenging, but we enjoyed it a lot. We found a destination that was only 2.5 miles away so Adam can walk it. We thought that it would mean that there will be a lot of day hikers, but we run into only a few people and we had the lake practically for ourselves. The distance was also manageable with our heavy (40+ lb) backpacks. We had two other families joining us and the kids had fun.

Mame radi kempovani, ale backpackovani milujeme jeste vice. Proto jsem chteli jit do hor tento rok s obema detma. Bylo to trochu vice narocne, ale uzili jsme si to hodne. Nasli jsme misto, ktere bylo jen 4 km daleko, aby to Adam mohl ujit. Mysleli jsme si, ze to bude znamenat, ze tam bude hodne lidi, ale potkali jsme jen par a meli jsme vpodstate cele jezero jen pro sebe. Vzdalenost byla taky zvladatelna s nasimi tezkymi batohy (20+ kg). Dalsi dve rodiny se k nam pripojili a detem se to libilo.

Bass lake camping 22. - 24. 6. 2018

Our second camping this year was really really hot. We went to Bass lake with other families with kids. The trees in the area weren't healthy, so many of them had to be cut down which meant that there was less shade than we would like to. Since it was so hot (around 100 F) we spent Saturday by the lake. One family brought a boat and we were lucky to got a ride!

Nase druhe kempovani tento rok bylo velice velice horke. Jeli jsme k jezeru Bass s dalsima rodinama s detmi. Stromy v oblasti byly nemocne a tak jich mnoho bylo pokaceno, coz znamenalo, ze bylo mene stinu nez bychom si prali. Jelikoz bylo takove vedro (kolem 40 C), tak jsme stravili sobotu u jezera. Jedna rodina privezla lod a my jsme meli to stesti, ze jsme se mohli svezt.

Big Meadows Camping 26. - 28. 5. 2018

Memorial long weekend is usually our first weekend going camping or backpacking. Unfortunately the weather is not always great. This year we organized a group camping at Big Meadows Stanislaus National forest. We had 15 families signed up. Because Friday and Saturday's weather was kind of wet and cold, only 7 families came. Even our family decided to drive up on Saturday morning instead of Friday afternoon. It was Emma's first camping trip and since she wasn't even 5 months yet, we were taking it easy. We had a lot of fun at the campsite or hiking on Sunday and Monday.

Prodlouzeny Memorial vikend je vetsinou nas prvni vikend, kdy jdeme kempovat a nebo backpackovat. Bohuzel pocasi v tuto dobu neni vzdy hezke. Tento rok jsme zorganizovali kempovani v Big Meadows Stanislaus National forest. 15 rodin se prihlasilo. Protoze v patek a sobotu bylo docela mokro a zima, jen 7 rodin prijelo. I my jsme se rozhodli vyjet v sobotu rano misto v patek odpoledne. Bylo to prvni kempovani Emmicky a jelikoz ji jeste nebylo ani 5 mesicu, tak jsme to brali pozvolna.

South Lake Tahoe 29. 3. - 1. 4. 2018

This year we didn't get to enjoy much snow because we thought that going to cold weather with a newborn is not a good idea. Since California got some late snow and the temperatures were relatively high, we decided to take a mini vacation and go to Tahoe for some skiing/snowshoeing in the spring. On Thursday and Friday I tried to teach Adam how to ski in the morning and in the afternoon I skied by myself while Eric took care of Emma and Adam. On Saturday and Sunday we went for hikes in the area.

Tento rok jsme si snehu moc neuzili, protoze jsme uznali za vhodne nebrat novorozene do zimy. Jelikoz v Kalifornii nasnezilo i na konci zimi a teploty byly pomerne vysoke, rozhodli jsme se vyrazit na malou dovolenou na Tahoe na jare. Ve ctvrek a patek jsem se  rano pokousela ucit Adamka lyzovat a odpoledne jsem lyzovala sama, zatimco se Eric staral o Emmicku a Adamka. V sobotu a nedeli jsme vyrazily na sneznice.

Hawaii - Oahu 10. - 18. 2. 2018

In February we took our first vacation with two children. Hawaii sounded like a good option for young kids. Originally we were hoping to visit Maui, since we haven't been there. Since we were booking this trip relatively late, the accommodation on Maui was very expensive, so we decided to go back to Oahu. This vacation with two small children was quite a work, but we had fun. The weather wasn't great, but we still managed to go about 3 times to beach, take a snorkeling tour and visited other beautiful sites in Oahu.

V unoru jsem jeli na nasi prvni dovolenou se dvema detma. Hawaj se zdala jako dobra volba pro dve male deti. Puvodne jsme chteli jet na Maui, protoze jsme tam jeste nebyli. Jelikoz jsme ale reservovali tento vylet pomerne pozde, tak ubytovani na Maui bylo velice drahe a tak jsme se rozhodli pro Oahu. Tato dovolena se dvema malyma detma byla docela prace, ale uzili jsme si to. Pocasi nebylo nejlepsi, ale i tak jsme se dostali asi 3 krat na plaz, jeli snorklovat a navstivili dalsi prekrasna mista na Oahu.

Czech Christmas dinner and Holiday party 9. - 10. 12. 2017

It has become a tradition to host early Czech Christmas dinner and Holiday party at the same weekend. This time it was even a little bit earlier, since I was 38 weeks pregnant at that point and we weren't sure when the little girl will decide to show up.
We had 12 adults and 9 children for our Czech dinner and 11 adults and 6 children for our party. It was a lot of fun!

Thanksgiving - Soda Springs 23. - 26. 11. 2017

This year we went with three other families to Soda Springs area, close to Truckee/Lake Tahoe. There was a little snow in the area, but not too much. We did a few walks around the area and also managed one trip to local swimming pool. It was nice and relaxing long weekend.
PHOTOS

Tento rok jsme jeli se tremi dalsimi rodinami do oblasti Soda Sprins, blizko Truckee/Jezera Tahoe. V oblasti bylo trochu snehu, ale ne prilis. Vysli jsme na nekolik malych prochazek v oblasti a taky jsme si vyrazili zaplavat do mistniho bazenu. Byl to pekny odpocinkovy prodlouzeny vikend.
