When we arrived back home, it was suddenly the glorious fall season that I love so much. All the trees had turned, leaves were falling, the air was crisp, and I had an overwhelming urge to cook something in the crock pot. That is when I know it is Fall, I want to put something in the crock pot!
So I drug the family outside to rake up leaves as my parents always did to me on the weekends!
But they had a great time throwing 'em up in the air with Daddy!
Then we took our first trip to Tahoe the second weekend of December and whoosh!!! Winter had arrived.
It snowed - and I mean REALLY snowed - the entire three days we were there. I think we ended up getting a couple of feet of snow and the house was immediately buried.
This was one of the favorite activities: Daddy would literally THROW the kids into a snow bank and they would sink into the fresh powder just laughing! I am not sure if you can see her or not - but our dog Delux is there in the right side of the picture.
And of course - if you throw one - you gotta throw the other!!
Luckily our second trip to our beloved cabin this past weekend it only snowed for 1/2 the time we were there. Thankfully the kids got to experience Tahoe without snow completely dumping on them. We had quite a good time creating a sledding hill in the front yard.
My adorable husband was tireless. He made many trips up and down on the sled with both kids.
The true payoff for Travis: introducing his son to snowboarding. Watch out - by next year - these two will be tearing down the local mountains!! We had to literally pull Wyatt inside every day - he NEVER wanted to come inside from the snow. He simply LOVED the snow.
We had such a good time. Yes, it takes about 10 minutes to get everyone all suited up to go outside. And yes, we only stay outside for 45 minutes. But this is what it is all about, isn't it? Mommy and Daddy can't wait to put you in ski school next year. Love you Teagan and Wyatt.
