Fun in the Snow

We escaped to Tahoe for a long weekend of fun in the "snow." It really wasn't all that snowy, but nonetheless, Ellie and Tate had an incredible time riding the Gondola up to the top of Heavenly to sled and play. I wasn't really sure how it would all go (the whole bundling up in layers of warm clothes to go stand out in the cold for a few days). Have you ever met my daughter? Anyways, I was pleasantly surprised. She couldn't wait to get going and instantly dropped to the ground to make snow angels (probably something she learned from TV). Tate wanted to sled again, and again, and again. The kids had an amazing time (so in turn we had an amazing time). We are even considering trying Ellie out in skiing next year, but I think this may be a bit ambitious. Even at twelve, my dad had to drag my skis all over the mountain and listen to me whine and complain. I would like to think it eventually paid off and I fully intend to get back on skis one of these day (after a 6 year hiatus). Point is, it was an enjoyable weekend getaway.
