Tahoe Part 2

The day after the ski school disaster, we decided not to ski since it was supposed to rain. Yes rain, not snow.  It was icy enough as is.  (It did not rain that day but oh well!)  We did however head over to the village and check things out.  Here is Will showing me his MITTENS!!!!  He was surprisingly good about keeping both the mittens and the hat on.

Then we decided to take the Gondola up to the top of the mountain.  This was, by far, Sarah's favorite part of the trip, as you can see by her face.  It was really fun.  We stopped half way up at the lookout and then continued to the top which is one way to get to the ski lifts.

Some wrestling before bed:

The next day, we were going to head down the mountain and this was the snow that faced us.  We pretty much threw everything together and tossed it in the car.  We had to beat the snow before snow tires or chains were required.

The kids loved the falling snow and I'm glad they got to experience it.  Sarah tried to catch snowflakes on her tongue and Will just kept making silly faces.


Will loved the ride down the mountain.  He kept saying Weeeeee and Again!

Day 1 of our drive was GORGEOUS with all the snow around and we saw the biggest rainbow I have ever seen.  It was a complete arch which is pretty rare to see.   

Day 2 of our drive went by pretty fast but the kids were somewhat miserable.  Who can blame them after so much traveling and new experiences.

I can't wait to take them to the snow again, this time with Andy and this time with sticky snow that is perfect for snowmen and ladies.
