We went for a quick trip to Tahoe this weekend and it was fun! The weather was perfect, we were actually warm out on the hill. The drive up took too long because of typical Friday afternoon traffic, but we pushed through and were just happy to arrive. We checked in and went straight to the pool. It was heated but still cold so we spent our time in the hot tub. We had an early night so we would be ready for sledding.
Jacob couldn't wait for the sledding hill so he climbed on the huge snow drift just outside our window. I was actually inside when he did this and all I saw was my son slide down and get stuck in between the snow and the window. He paused for a second and scrambled back out.
Jamie and Parker on their first run. Parker didn't think it was quite as fun ...
and it wasn't because of this. He was already crying before the sled tipped.
Jacob was a natural. He had his serious face on most times he went cruising down, that kid is all business. My favorite was when he was going so fast he went all the way to the bottom and kept going up the dirt hill at the end. I watched the whole thing from the top and laughed the entire time.
Chelsea came too and we loved that she did! She is so fun and the boys just love her. I loved the time I fell off and she was right behind me so she crashed into me less, but glad to have her none the less.
It was a quick trip because Jamie had to fly out Sunday morning for work, but I thought it was totally worth it. Jacob keeps talking about the next time we go to Tahoe. It is a lot of work to get ready to play in the snow though. It takes a lot of stuff, (thank you to everyone that lent us snow gear!) willingness to spend a long time building snow people, and the possibility that your 2 year old will not enjoy any of it. All in all, it was a great trip and I am glad we went, but I think it solidified that we are a beach family.
