Kids Cliff Jump and Deep Dive the Crystal Clear Waters of Lake Tahoe

Are you kidding me? Callie! Callie! My name is Dorothy and I'm nine years old. My name is Manu and I'm seven years old. I'm Callie and I'm four years old. We are back, back with the Christmas music, back in Tahoe. Good morning from Mexico! Tahoe! Good morning from Tahoe! Today we're going to talk about Tahoe. Wow, oh it looks fun. You see the river rafting? Let's do it! We floated down a river and rafted down it. And then we went for a ride. All aboard! Go for it. Don't drop it in the river, okay? It's so cool! Here you go, Mom. The back of the boat is stairs, yeah, Captain? Captain, Dad, it's so cool. You can even see it from here. Yeah, I know. This is awesome, guys. Yeah, this is fun. Callie, go full in, man. You for sure might. Yo, listen, three things if you fall in. One, stay calm. Two, yell for Mom and Dad. Three, swim. You guys are good swimmers. I know, I know. Hey, Callie, what are the three steps to do when you fall in? All right, so Callie, you want to sit in the captain's seat? He's helping, he's our motor. Okay, that's it. Next bridge. Don't fall in, Callie, when you touch it. And don't touch the gum. Ew, that's so gross. Why is it gum? Ew, don't touch it. I didn't touch it. Oh, gross. Look how cool he looks with his hat on backwards. Manila, show Callie. All right, so Callie's the motor. Me and Dorothy are the engines. Manila, you're the rudder. You're the captain. You're steering where we go. Just like when you're sailing and you have the rudder. Tom's just the princess at the front of the rapids. We're going over a waterfall. Callie, what are you doing? This is not a waterfall. Hey, you don't want to trash talk small rapids because coffee against the ocean or any mother nature. Dorothy, you gotta paddle backwards from your side. Nice instructions, Dad. You should be a river guy. Dear Amazing Grace Family Edition, we're ready. Wait, where'd Callie go? Oh, he's right there. My heart for a second. Cheese, Callie, Mom. Callie, show me your smile. That was awesome, dude. Were you planning that? Yeah, totally. Mom, did you know you weren't even scared? I wasn't even scared. Mom, will you hold Manila so he doesn't fall in? Hold him, hold him. Mom, now or never. Okay, you gotta help these kids in now. Oh, gosh. Guys, we got a lot of water in this boat. How do I get in? Everyone float. Oh, we did it. Callie, did you want to marchie-marchie? I can't without marchie-marchie. We've switched to the GoPro camera so Mom doesn't drop the phone into these white water rapids. Hold on tight, Callie. Okay, okay. Oh, Callie's holding on tight. Okay. Don't let me go in. More from your side, Jordyn. More from your side. Dad's just... Oh, look at that. We're in danger. Can we throw the white water rapids? Watch me, buddy. Hold on. Where do we get out? Keep going. What, you wanted to turn around? Oh, yeah. Yeah. How about that team? What? We're going 360. We're going. We're going over there. Jordan, chill. We didn't miss the exit. There's no docks yet. God. Holy cow. All done. Here we go. We did it. Okay, real quick, real quick. I just got to know. What were you thinking? I thought we'd gone too far. And you thought mid rapids was the time to call it. I was going to say call it. I was just panicking. So you stopped paddling and you want to have a conversation about whether or not we missed our stop? Hey, we did it. So when we first arrived our first day in Reno. We went rock climbing too. Wait, did you see you can go to the top, top, top? That one's up to you, mom. You could do that. That's so high. Good luck, guys. This one's up to you. Dad is too scared. He didn't even do it. He's too scared. How do you even know what tap dancing is? Do it again. Wow. Oh my gosh. This kid room is awesome. All right, Callie, your challenge. Are you ready? Is to make it all the way to the top so you can touch the orange. You want to start over here by Dorothy? Or you want to do it where you are? Yep. Go for it. Guys, Callie is doing great. Oh, nice. Guys, Callie is getting close to the orange. What orange is it? See that orange tape at the top? You can do it. Don't give up. Stay there. Just try to find a better spot for your hand. Maybe this hand to this one. To this one. Oh, you feel that? There you go. Now try to go higher. Guys, touch it. Wait, wait. Don't go down. Don't fall. Stay. Okay. I'll help you. Okay. Just wait there. Hey, now rest for a second. Hey, hey. This is the part where you just rest and you calm down. Look how close you are. Wait till you're calm and then we'll go. Okay. You ready? When you're ready, you're going to put this hand on this one. Okay. Then you're going to put this foot, this foot all the way to this one. And it'll act like a stair and you can just step up. Okay. Wait. Hold that. Okay. Now try to put this foot all the way to this one. There it is. Now grab onto that one. Grab onto that one. Now look. Look at your head. You're there. Touch it. With your hand. Touch it with your hand. No, touch it with your hand. There it is. Yeah. Told you you could do it, buddy. It was too high. So high. It was very high. Callie did like four of them. He did good. Yeah. You ready for your turn? You excited? Are you nervous or not at all? Nice, Callie. Going. How about two more? How about two more or one more? Oh, big step on your... Yeah, yeah, yeah. Good. All done? Okay, let go. Yeah, Jess. Dorothy is braver than all of us. It's official. Dorothy, are you like even a little bit scared? That a girl, Dorothy. That a girl. Yeah, Dorothy. Oh my gosh. She's gonna do it. Are you kidding me? Oh my gosh. You did it. What did you just do? Climb to the what? Top of the... To the city. At the top of Marina. How old are you? Nine. Nine years old. Tell me, how proud of yourself were you when you reached the top? Really? Dorothy, you didn't just touch the top. You like climbed up and over. That was amazing. Could you hear me screaming? Yeah. So proud of you? Wow. This week, more than any other week in my life, I've officially become... We had this conversation. Dorothy is cooler than me. You said as cool. As cool. She's currently as cool. She's as cool as me. Until she went up that ledge. Then she's cooler than me. Like she and I are like about the same level of wake surfing. We're about the same level. Like we're about the same level at soccer. At like a lot of things right now. And it's going to take about five more days for her to just completely like surpass her mom. Oh wait, is Dorothy going on her own? Yeah. We love you. All right, let's go catch them, Mina. We went paddle boarding. And we jumped off rocks. We jumped off a lot of high rocks. All right, you ready to launch? Yes. Wish me luck. Iceberg. Wow. Hey, is this cool? Look, you can see through the bottom of the sand and paddle. No, right through it. Oh, totally. You make it? Oh, good job, bud. You got to go for it, Cali. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Mina, go to Cali. All right, Cali, you're good. Now you can climb. Nice. Oh, so brave. Back up, Jess. Go, Cali, go. Yeah, Cali. All right, dad's turn. I am absolutely excited to see the visibility of this water. You love it here. Do you believe me when I say this is one of my new favorite places on the planet? We've been looking at real estate already. I've been talking to people about schools. It's like one of those places where you're like, OK, so. It's really, really special. I mean, it has a lot of my very favorite things about life here in Tahoe. But most of all, for you, is that like crystal clear water. Oh, it's beautiful in there. I am in love. Oh, it's so pretty. Will you explain what is a via ferrata? A via ferrata is like a pastry from Italy. I want to say it's like a ropes course, but it's not a ropes course. It's like a climbing. Jessica is super scared of heights. Are there any heights in this? No, no heights at all. OK, you'll be fine. You're good, Jess. Are you feeling OK? Are you feeling OK, sir? Garrett literally every five minutes would turn to me like, Jessica, are you OK? And I was like, yeah. We learned that my coping mechanism is to be an absolute sweetheart. Jess, how are you doing? Do you feel all right? Are you OK? Are you good? Great. The middle clip is the worst. You feeling OK? Are you OK, Jess? Go slow if you need to. I'm nervous. Got it? My hands are shaky. You OK? Yeah. Don't look down at this part. Oh, yeah. You all right? Yeah, you can move again. Oh, this next part is crazy. You OK? Yeah, are you all right? Let's just see this part. Jess, you did it. You were so brave. I'm so proud of you. Garrett checked in on me like every like five minutes. Like, make sure you're OK. Are you OK? I was like, you OK? The Bugatos family. And that I was brave. I'll say this, with the clear stand-up paddleboards and the clear kayaks, I thought it was totally a gimmick thing when I saw photos and videos. It looked lame, to be honest. But now that I've tried it, I'm in. I'm sold. But you've got to be somewhere with crystal clear water like Tahoe. Where are your shoes? Where are my shoes? What time is it? What are we doing? It is 7 a.m. We're going kayaking. Why are we so tired? Going on a kayak adventure. All right. Oh, yeah. Everyone's looking real fresh. It's like a bunch of snacks right here. Good morning. Dorothy, looking fresh. All of us are. It was a long night for Dorothy. We're looking good, guys. Honest answer. We say all the time that our travels are possible because our kids good attitude. How much of our parenting? What percentage did we have to do with that good attitude? And how much are they just naturally really good kids? 50-50. Not 50? I give myself like 7%. They're just they're very naturally good kids. Wow. You seen these big rocks, buddy? You know, I trained him, buddy. That's so nice. I'll go. Okay. What did we do? We wake-surfed. And we went again. We wake-surfed. And did you do it? Yes. It was Callie's first time wake-surfing this week. Go, buddy. Go. Yeah, Callie. Feel pretty easy right there? Yeah. Okay. Go ahead. One foot, two foot. Get sideways. Remember your stance at Cardi Kiki? Now scoot back a little on the board. Scoot back a little. Take a step back just a little bit. Scoot back, Callie. Scoot back. Put your feet in the middle. Callie, scoot back a tiny bit. Here comes some outside waves. Okay, Olivia. You're doing great, Callie. Go ahead, you're neutral. Did he just drop it? He did. He dropped it. Which I wasn't ready to let him go in the wave yet. Go, Callie. There it is. Jump. Yes. Callie, hold up. Don't bump yet, bud. Spread your legs. Yeah, there you go. Oh, nice. That was good. Yeah, Callie. All right. So are you ready to do that? But when you get up, remember the sequence. Here's the Callie fan club. Go, Callie. Here it comes. Hey, Jess. Will you ask the kids who they want to go first? Even peer pressure. There you go. Oh, yeah. This is nothing out of the ordinary. They always fall asleep who knows where. Okay. Whoa. Pop it. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Let go. Yeah, back knee forward. Touch the water. Hey, you're already to 10 seconds. Keep going. Water. Touch the water. Get there on. That's 30. Clearly, very clearly, we love Lake Tahoe. Oh, my gosh. We're going to come back here all the time. Oh, hey, one more thing. Hey, what's up? Time keeps on slipping like sand through my hand. I honestly can't believe I'm as old as I am. The moon keeps on pulling, tied with this water. The footsteps behind us keep washing. The shape of the shoreline seems addicted to change. A blink of an eye, another decade flies by. It's a beautiful miracle, the story goes on. It's a beautiful miracle, between the sea and the sun. The raindrops are singing on a roof made of tin. Melodies in tune with the sound of the wind. No matter how long, our song goes on. Isn't it a wonder this little love came along, singing her song? It's a beautiful miracle that we're even alive.
