We had a hard time finding snow clothes for the kids. There aren't many stores that carry children's snow gear. I know that it doesn't snow here, but you would think that being just a couple hours from Tahoe we would find something....but it was a challenge. The only thing we found were some boots at the Children's Place for Brynn, so we snagged them just as they were about to close (they have a darling shoe store by the way). Brynn and Abby ended up wearing their old snow bibs, size 2T and 4T, but they worked. The next day we bundled Aaron up with a few layers of sweats and some other random snow gear we had around. We weren't out for too long so we all survived.

Waiting for the shuttle to Northstar Resort
Amy, Evan, Peter, and Karen - Karen is my friend that I run with and her husband Peter is a law student at UC Davis - he accepted a job in San Francisco, so they will be leaving in a few months...I am so sad!Evan is Karen's brother and he and Amy live at King's Beach
Peter wore some of his daughters pants as a hat. It's hard for us Californians to find snow gear, well okay, it's easy to find adult gear, but Peter still wore the pants.
The Degraw Family - Kim, Cliff and their kids Hailee and Kaden.
Sledding back at the cabin. We all took a few runs down. It was fun to play in the snow, but I was more than happy to leave it up there. :)
The cabin was on a golf course and there was a semi-frozen creek that bordered the golf-course.
Joe testing out the timer on the camera and the strength of the ice.
The best part was warming up in the hot tub!
Did you know there is an LDS church very close to the lake. We saw it from the road and thought, it had to be....and it was! The Cole's and Degraw's attended on Sunday, we went home Saturday night. I would have loved to see what the members were like...if they were out of towners, semi-dwellers, or if they really lived right there.
Beautiful Lake Tahoe in the winter.
Before we left we took a quick peak at the lake. So beautful! The whole way home Joe kept talking about how he could figure out a way to live even closer to this place...... we had a wonderful time!

I'd loved the pictures. Remember that I'm from Reno, you visited our favorite place. Lake Tahoe. We love it all. We spend most of our time on the North End. Tahoe City area.
Looks like it was a great visit.
Looks like fun! I have only passed through Tahoe a couple of times in college and early marriage. It looks like a great place to visit!
Wow that is so pretty! How great to be able to visit the snow and cold and then leave it behind. We drove at the edge around Thanksgiving on our way to LA and it my favorite part of the drive.
Even though we live in Spokane - land of coats - I usually buy our stuff on line. I was always cold when I was a kid so I have warm coat issues now. Lands End gets their stuff to me in just 3 days (not express - standard!) and LLBean takes just a week. Again, it lasts FOREVER, but maybe not worth spending the big bucks on for occassional use.
And, you were WAY too kind and generous about me in your comment about your grandmothers. And I thank you for it. How about you write my next three talks/presentations and then I will give them? I am like Joe in that way :)
What amazing pictures. I loved the one of Joseph on the ice and the last one of the sunset. It looked like you had a great time in Tahoe. I mean snow, sledding and a hot tub? Who could ask for anything more!
That looks like so much fun!
Looks like a fantastic vacation. *sigh* We need to get away!
Looks like you had a blast! I am sad you didn't come see us. We need to get together when the passes aren't so snowy.
You go girl!
