Our Tahoe Trip

We spent the past weekend (March 27th - 29th) in Tahoe with our good friends...the Mello Family. The kids were so excited to have a whole weekend together and we were just excited to not have to be at home where responsibility lives. On Saturday morning we got up and found a place to take the kids sledding. A place that didn't cost $40 for 4 people to sled. The kids had such a good time. Even Aria...despite the look of pure TERROR on her face.

Lucy just HAD to go down the hill by herself. Even though Mommy and Daddy told her no...

Then Matea and Lucy wanted to go down the hill with me. We were headed for a tree, hence the look of terror on my face. The girls were just having fun...but they still engaged in a "whew! we made it" hug afterwards.


Zach and Mat had a bit of a race down the hill with their two girls. I don't know if it was more about who "won" or more about who didn't hit the tree... (Zach)

The sledding ended, though, when Tyler and Aria both ended up in tears...



After sledding we headed into Tahoe City to check out the lake and enjoy the fresh air. The kids found some rocks and spent a good half hour throwing them in the lake.

Once we got back to the cabin the guys couldn't sit still, so they went out back and carved out a maze in the snow for the kids to play in. Tyler and Aria really enjoyed the snow maze and played out there for hours. Like, turn your feet red and freeze kind of hours...

We had a really nice weekend. Of course both kids are already asking when we are going to go back again...
