so when some friends suggested a weekend trip to tahoe the week before our move, well, i jumped at it. a chance to procrastinate packing? a relaxing trip to the mountains? playing board games and sipping some coffee over a good conversation? me! me! i'm in. the buser bus is on board with that!
and that is just what we did. we drove the few hours to lake tahoe. we drove in on a friday night and it was pitch dark when we arrived. imagine our surprise when we awoke to this:
seriously, the view from the house was shocking. i had no expectation for what it might look like, but this took my breath away. tohoe is amazing.two little girls spent the bulk of our time there creating some sort of majestic fort in the yard.
one little girl rekindled her memories of ice skating with her daddy.
and another little girl got all dressed up to play and then...
decided that she didn't like it one bit. i'm being serious. popsie doodle is a true california girl. she threw a temper tantrum each and every time that she was set down in the snow. she was determined not to like it. and so she didn't. (if only she knew what her little life in the great state of illinois could have looked like!)
a certain momma enjoyed the flying saucer sled with a certain daughter who is always up for excitement and thrills.
another little muffin might have tried to eat her weight in snow.
and this little tot was delighted to be toted around on her sled.
we were taught about geo caching... which will be discussed more in a future post.
it was a good time, indeed. and don't worry, those boxes were still there waiting to be packed upon our return. they didn't mind the wait at all. and eventually, they did get packed but that is far less fun to talk about than the adventure of tahoe.
