We went to Tahoe TWICE this winter, and I never posted about it, so it's like it never happened. To remedy that I've decided to sum up our trips in 29 photos.
1. Hot tubs are decidedly more fun in cold places than hot, tropical ones.
2. Bennett loved petting and feeding the animals on a Tahoe farm.
3. And he loved feeling like a big boy riding a pony.
4. The views were so amazing at sunset.
5. Bennett loved getting toted around on a small plastic sled.
6. Daddy loved the crazy tubing run at Squaw Valley (adrenaline junky that he is).
7. Orelia got on skis for the first time ever.
8. She loved her first ski lesson.
9. And we were so thrilled with our tutu ski girl.
10. Unfortunately, our second ski lesson was on our next trip and it was snowing and freezing and extremely windy.
11. That lesson was much less well received.
12. Thankfully lots of snow activities are very low key like this ride where the kids just sit in a tube and are pulled along by a machine. Heaven!
13. Orelia loved it too, but in a slightly more chill way.
13. Snowboarding down a teeny tiny hill was a blast with a handlebar.
14. During our first weekend in Tahoe Bennett absolutely loved the mini tubing hill and did it for an hour straight.
15. We couldn't wait to take Bennett back to his favorite tubing hill. So just to keep us on our toes, he decided he didn't like it anymore and wanted to sit and eat Doritos instead. You do you, buddy.
16. Luckily, Orelia made good use of the tubing hill the second time.
17. Being in the snow is just slightly easier for bigger kids, so Orelia was in her element stomping around in her snow boots.
18. Bennett was a bit less surefooted, but he made it work.
19. What trip to the mountains is complete without a little trampoline fun, right?
20. Both kids loved the bouncy part of our vacation.
21. We also went ice skating, which was mostly an exercise in the back-breaking work of not letting your kids crash to the ground.
22. Harper also came with us both weekends and had a great time bounding about.
23. Harper may actually be the most natural of us around snow.
24. She certainly looks the part.
25. And acted like the seven-year-old "puppy" we know her to be.
26. We got one snow storm while we were there, which was both thrilling and also a pain in the rear.
27. By the time the snow storm came, Bennett had had his fill of snow thank you very much, and decided to stay inside for the remainder of our trip. Luckily, Orelia was game for some snow flake tasting.
28. "I'M GOOD!" she yelled as she face-planted into the snow.
29. Tahoe in the winter is a blast, but I have always been a summer girl and don't mind that it's currently 88 degrees outside.
The end.
