Great America

Our trip to Great America last weekend and a train ride.  

Our trip 

Happy Easter

We had an Easter bunny show up at our house and another egg hunt with the cousins in the chilly weather.

First ski trip - Tahoe!

We headed up on Saturday to South Lake Tahoe for a spring break/late season ski trip.  Unfortunately it was another bad rain year for California so very limited snow at this time.  We stayed on the Nevada side of the lake near Zephyr Cove.  The weather for the most part was a balmy 70 degrees, so we did many activities outside of skiing.  We got to go to the lake and play on the beach, swimming in the heated pools and a little bit of skiing.  Cason was super excited to ski, we were a little wary of his reaction once he actually got to the mountain.  As someone who loves to ski, I have been waiting for this day to come when I could get them on the slopes.  He had a blast and had a lot of fun with the snow.  I wish we had more snow for them, but next year we will head up earlier in the season.  Here are a ton of pictures.

Carrying 40lb kid up the mountain over and over at 7,000 ft is exhausting!
