Mecca- Shaver Lake

The really nice thing about CA is that it has a lot of different types of places to go.  You like the beach?  You can go to the beach.  You like the mountains?  You can go to the mountains.  There's desert, lakes, pretty much any type of place you want all in one state.

We decided to beat the heat and go up to Shaver Lake in the mountains with our cousins one day.  It still was pretty hot and there wasn't much shade, okay any shade, but the icy cold lake made up for that!  Poor Ryan was surrounded by people who brought their dogs which caused some panic and not enough patience from mom, but we survived.  (I cannot tell how much I hate dogs right now and seriously everyone owns one)
