Lake Tahoe

Our friends Brad and Christine kindly hosted us at their parents' place in Tahoe. The kids had such a good time in the snow that Colin declared this morning that he was moving to Tahoe -- or Alaska -- when he grew up. And Cameron had his first experience trying to taste the falling snow.

We got to see a lot of snow. Mostly we spent the days having snowball fights, sledding, and trying to build snowmen. We had planned to take skiing lessons with the kids, but it was snowing too hard for that.

Given that the drives up and back were challenging, the relaxed pace of cabin life was the perfect counterbalance.

So: thanks to Brad and Christine and all the other families who made this the first ski week vacation where we actually saw snow.

Next year, we'll have to try and get everyone in the group picture. Though I have to say, it was enough of a challenge getting the partial picture above. :-)
