Back in January there were a series of storms that hit pretty hard. We had non stop rain in Sacramento and Tahoe was pounded with lots and lots of snow that took out power to much of the towns there because of snowfall.
Brandon had planned to take the girls up for his weekend one week, but that failed because the power was out at the cabin for days on end. Then we wanted to go a following weekend and the power went out again. I mean, you can survive with no power, but it's pretty miserable without heat and light! The cabin doesn't have a wood burning fireplace, so it wasn't really an option to go up at that point. So, we waited and finally, late one Saturday night, the power went back on! So Sunday was spent getting our gear together to make it up to the snow for one night. Luckily Aubrey and I had that particular Monday off, so it worked out perfectly!
And...there was snow! And LOTS of it!
The girls and their daddy were in heaven!
There was definitely enough snow for snowman making and Aubrey and daddy made a cute, little snowman that set our mini trip on the right foot :).
The next day the skies were clear and absolutely beautiful!
Our friends, the Purintons met us up there for the day and we couldn't have asked for a more fun, perfect day together! It was wonderful!
The air was crisp and cold, but oh so beautiful with all the fresh fallen snow!
We walked down to the dock area and we found an epic looking snowman just waiting for us :).
The kids had fun riding in the back of our car to get back to some warmth :).
After some lunch, it was time to play in all the fresh powder that was around!
And play we did!
Aubrey tried snowboarding for the first time and she actually got the hang of it pretty quickly! After about fifteen minutes of trying, falling, and trying again, she got it!!
Lucy was perfectly content with eating snow as she watched her sister :).
You did Aubrey!!!
I guess it may be time to take her on some actual slopes soon 😉.
Oh these kids and their parents...we love them!
Such a fun day, in a beautiful place, creating memories we'll treasure forever.
