Ah...Lake Tahoe. Deliciously fresh air, beautiful weather and enough runs to keep you skiing for 3 days without getting bored. It was wonderful! We went with my Mom, cousin Robert and his fiancee Nikki. Thanks Mom for watching the kiddies (and everything else you did for us) while we had a bit of outdoor fun. :)
The California Side of Lake Tahoe. Most of the towns only had a population of 230!
Skiing was a big hit with Miss Tigone Rose! She LOVED it. At 2 1/2 she mastered the conveyor belts and hit the bunny hill running. :) Granted we never let her go and I seriously doubt she could have done it by herself, but the fact that she enjoyed it had me totally stoked.
This picture is awesome because about 35 seconds later they both bit it HARD. And by hard I mean, Tigi's skiis got twisted under Dev, he hurt his knee and totally rolled over Tigi. She sported a scratched nose and a small goose egg on her forehead as a battlewound.But did she quit?! Absolutely not! Up the chair we went again. :)
What cracked me up was how much she loved the chairlift! In my memory of early skihood, I was always afraid of falling off, or the chair detaching from the cable, or getting dragged by the chair if I couldn't get on fast enough. But not Tigi. Imaginary monsters scare her like mad, but sailing through the air 25 feet above ground, she's cool as a cucumber. :)
Thumbs up to the Blacks and Double Blacks! (Devin's saying yeah right after his little mishap on the bunny hill.) :)
Note to self...don't waste your time with Heavenly's tubing or kiddie sledding area. As with the food there, they are overpriced and not that great. Tigi did a test run, liked it. I went and paid for her and she wouldn't go again. Of COURSE. But atleast Alex and my Mom got to come out to the slopes for a bit. :) (He wasn't really a fan of the brightness outside.)
My handsome little man in his first "whiteout." Lucky for us, it only started snowing this morning, as we were leaving. The timing couldn't have been better. Did I mention that we were skiing in fifty degree weather?! LOVE it.

Looks like fun! I'm impressed...you're barely home and you call me to check up on things, post about your trip, AND change your background. Dang girl. Know what I just thought of...Wasn't Bobby about that same age when we first took him (and me) skiing?
I'm glad you guys had a great time. Spence started taking Ava skiing last year too. She loves it..... although, I think Dad get's a little worn out. I still can't believe how much the baby looks like Devin!
What a fun trip! And DANG! Your kids are CUTE! :)
Wow, I've missed a lot! What a cool mom you are, taking your toddler skiing. Wanna teach a 27-year-old who probably would be terrified of the chair lift to ski? Yeah, I didn't think so.
