Lake Tahoe Ski Trip

3.01.12 - Tahoe trip with friends

We were invited by the Furuichi-Fong's to go up to Tahoe for a 3 night trip.  We left on Thursday so both girls missed school for 2 days.  Penny actually threw up 3 times before we left and so we thought we wouldn't be able to go!  Apparently she had eaten some old, old Halloween chocolate and it got her sick.  After a few hours, she was back to her normal self so we caravaned with Kristin/Mia and the Hopkins family.  The boys and Darren and Crx left at 4:30AM to try to get some extra runs in, but there was a blizzard and the resorts were closed.  We finally arrived at the cabin and saw the boys shoveling the driveway.  What perfect timing!

Beautiful weather
Storm Daddy was in


All the families had fun eating dinners, lunches and breakfasts together.  We played games, watched movies, talked and had a really fun time.


First Dinner together!


03.02.12 - Today was a somewhat relaxing day for all the girls.  We let them play in the snow after breakfast and then they lounged a little and after lunch, we decided to go sledding!








A long day sledding

That night we had karaoke night!





03.03.12 - Ski lessons!

All the girls except Nadia and Pepper took ski lessons.  I was so proud of Penny.  Her and Mia did a full day and didn't quit.  I know they were tired too.  Penny went down the hill without falling many times!  She did so well.  We think, though, that we'll put her in snowboard school next year.

Made it all the way down!

On our last night, we went to the arcades.  The girls got some tokens and won enough tickets to win prizes.  Penny got a cute dolphin necklace and pepper got a pink teddy bear.









03.04.12 - Last day of Tahoe

All we did today was clean up and get packed.  We had so much fun! The girls love the snow and I hope they remember these good times with family and friends.
