We spent this last weekend in Tahoe. Our friends Ryan, Laurel, and little Justin Plewe came with us. The men left early Friday morning to ski and Laurel and I came up with the boys later that day (nice wives, I know.) We stayed at our timeshare by the Heavenly Resort.When we got to Tahoe Friday afternoon it was 60 degrees and not much snow.

Saturday morning the Dads and big boys went sledding. They had a ball. There wasn't much snow, so it was pretty tame. Carson wanted to go down the big hill by himself and had a bad wipe-out colliding with another kid at the bottom of the hill (see face picture below.) Steve said he didn't cry for long and was right back up, going down again. This is the only picture the men-folk took of the sledding. Note: it isn't of sledding, but it's something, right?

By Saturday afternoon a full blown blizzard blew into town. The kids thought it was pretty cool, so did the grown-ups. When the blizzard was just starting Carson was dying to go sledding again, so Steve and I took him out. It was miserable and we only lasted one run. We were lucky to get our car back to the condo.

There was a nice long bath that night and hot chocolate to warm the boys up.

The next morning the snow had basically stopped falling and we ventured out to enjoy it. We learned that even properly clothed kids 3 and under don't do snow. It looks so fun in the movies, but in reality it is cold and wet. They didn't last long. Plus, it was difficult to sled in a foot of fresh powder. At least we got to snap a few pictures. (Insert here: A darling picture of Steve, the kids, and I...I would have loved to have gotten one, but I rarely get what I want in the picture department.) This is the best I could do.

It was a fun trip. we are so lucky that such a beautiful place is only 2 1/2 hours away. Steve and I decided we are going to wait another year or so before we do another snow trip. It's just too hard with little kids. We are both looking forward to when our kids are a little older so we can all enjoy trips more.

hahah I like what an ordeal snow is for you and the kiddos... could you imagine if you still lived in rexburg? With 2 kids?? Craziness.
Then again I currently live in Utah..not much better
How fun for you guys!
And yes, I agree that snow and kids that are under 3 is not a good combo. Learned that last year with Ryan.
Of course Laurel's kid smiles for the camera! :)
What a tough little guy! And a great picture to boot! I'm with you on the snow thing. Gage wanted to go out in it everyday this winter and after taking 30 mins to get him ready we were outside for 2 mins till he got too cold. A total waste every time!
What great memories you are creating and what great parents these little boys have! That picture of Carson after his fall is one that will become a classic!!!
Oh so fun! This makes me miss the snow! Seriously the best picture of Carson ever, I love it. Next year at Christmas will be fun in the snow with all the kiddos. It will be nuts!
