No Snow in Truckee

We wanted to catch what little snow was left this year before it all melted away, so we took the weekend to go up to Truckee. Stef stayed at home will I took Asher, Ella, and Marley up to Paul Nobmann's cabin in Lahontan. We had a great time in his beautiful house even with a serious lack of snow. Still we were able to find some snow when it came to it. Asher, Ella, and Marley all slept in the same bed with me which I didn't think was great, but the kids sure seemed to like it.

The golf course in Lahontan had very little snow, but it was enough. Asher and Ella loved the sled with the steering wheel. You can see in the video that we were able to work out quite a course. Ella liked to ride the sled stright down the hill and jump the mound at the end as she slid onto the green. Asher and I liked to ride down the side, jump the grass into the sand trap, cross the grass again on the way out of the trap, and coast across the fairway. Then I got to try a new toy--the snow skate. That was pretty fun too. It was pretty tricky, but I thought it was cool.
On the way home the next day, we stopped at Grandpa Steve and Grandma Dorothy's house. We played at the park and relaxed before making our way to Jeremy and Lori's house for dinner. It was a packed weekend, but a lot of fun.

Pirates!

Ella and Marley joined their friend Fiona in dressing up like pirates. Stefanie was having a "chick night" with lotions and perfumes and stuff. They thought it would be pretty peaceful until these buckaneers showed up.
