we went to tahoe this weekend, with grandma and grandpa neuman.. it was lovely -we stayed in a great house (a friend of mine was so kind to let us stay at his place since he was not coming up this weekend). stella had her first adventure on skis - she went to ski school at Squaw Kids, and was too adorable! great balance, didn't fall much, but didn't really get the whole "slow down with the snow plow" thing... as a reward for her hard work, she got to jump on the bungee tramp for a while and had a great go of that (sammy preferred to hang out on grandpa's shoulders and just watch the whole thing)...
we had plenty of snow, so we build a snowman (really more of a snow bear/dog) in the backyard. and we went sledding - which was great fun! we had fun in the hot tub, made snow angels and just relaxed.
stella really enjoyed the foreign substance we call "snow", but sammy wasn't having ANY of it... (see pics!)
it was a great treat to have grandma and grandpa join us - their first time to tahoe, and they were good sports - getting on their snow suits/boots/etc. and joining in on the sledding adventures! grandpa made an amazingly realistic carrot out of the playdoh during "arts & crafts" time, and he also played a mean game of hide & seek with stella! grandma exercised a lot of patience - playing game after game and puzzle after puzzle, and she also brought some pretty darn cute snow outfits, hats, mittens for the girls!
