Summer always seems like a wonderful time to enjoy lakes and mountain adventures. If you haven’t been reading, we just returned from a trip to South Lake Tahoe, California so I’ve based this packing list on our personal experience there. In all honesty, this could really work for any mountainous or lake trip. We spent some time at the beach and some time doing some fun hikes so we didn’t need any serious gear.

      IKR, they’re one of my favs! My son has one for school and the padding is great.

    For me, it’s definitely all about the sunscreen, but I’ll take that blow up pretzel too! 😉

    These are all great outfits! For something like this, I definitely think it’s a great idea to bring pieces of clothing that you can use in a couple different items, if you have the option of washing them somehow, of course.

    Great choices and outfits! I bet you guys were one of the more stylish visitors to the lake. 🙂 (I love going up there as well.) I love the pretzel – one of my friends has one, and it’s her fav photo prop. The scalloped swimsuit is super-cute too!

    Those distressed boyfriend jeans are the BEST ! I am not an outdoors/hiking person, but these outfits can easiy be worn for casual errand runs in the city or elsewhere.
