Searching for snow in Tahoe

Scott got home from 2 weeks in China on Friday and we headed out early Saturday for Tahoe.

Jackson was (kinda) a champ for the ride but we did need to take a walk before getting there.


We met another family up in Tahoe and the kids had a blast.
Hank is 6 months older than Jackson and just as cute.


Lyla was a great big sister to Jackson.
Hopefully he took some notes about being an older sibling...

We went there with the hopes (but realistic expectations) of finding snow for sledding.
We did find 1 "snowy" hill.

Jackson got to go down quite a few times and usually loved it.
Of course the one time I walked away Scott caught a bump and it scared Jackson. 
I thought that was the end of Jackson but when Scott started back up the hill alone Jackson jumped out of my lap and chased after him.

Quite literally, only a portion of the hill had snow.
It actually made for great spectating since I wasn't that cold on the sidelines.
(I did go sledding but it's not that fun to sled on ice 
with a baby in my belly and another in my lap.)

We had a great time with the Tillmans!

Can you tell there was snow?

Jackson had quite the cozy afternoon in Ellen's lap.
He just plopped down there and watched the other kids play Nintendo.

Scott did some extracurricular reading.

Lyla was so cute and loved helping Jackson.
She really wanted them to both drink at the same time and it took quite a bit of convincing!

After sledding we spent the afternoon at the "beach".
There was a park nearby and no one ended up in the water so I'd say it was a success.

It ended up being a whirlwind month of Feb since Scott was gone the first two weeks, 
we went to Tahoe President's weekend, and then Utah the next!

  1. There is so little snow! I knew the snowpack was bad but that's ridiculous.
