Watch us grow!
This morning, the kids were up early and starting playing right away. They’re so cute with their matching pjs and bed head.
We also made one more trip to Soda Springs for a morning to rides before heading home.
We went straight to the green runs and had a full morning of snowboarding.
Peanut figured out a new way of sliding down the mountain and we laughed the whole way down.
We later met up with Zoe and Maya on the other side and the kids had fun going down the bunny slopes together.
Back at the cabin, Zoe and Maya had arrived and settled in. We had dinner together and then played games before bed.
The kids wore matching Christmas pjs and Janie even read stories to everyone!
We were up early and got ready to go snowboarding!
The cabin is so BIG and the kids got to explore a bit before heading out.
Today we hit a milestone. We all went up the ski lift and rode down a green run together as a family!
Janie also went down a green run without falling or stopping for the first time!! What a great day we all had in the snow!!
By the time Mama and Janie were done with their last run, Peanut fell asleep in Dada’s lap. He was beat!
We drove to Tahoe this evening after school/work and arrived around 10pm. The front of the house was covered in snow and Dada had to dig our way in while the kids were asleep in the car.
Our drive home was pretty easy and we still had plenty of sunshine to wash the car, do laundry, and buy groceries.
We are on our way back to Soda Springs for Day 2! This time, Janie is getting her first lift pass to ride the Green Run with Dada!!
Peanut is excited to be back at Planet Kids with Mama.
It’s a much sunnier day today so we bought the kids some snow goggles.
Here’s Mama and Peanut on the shuttle ride to Planet Kids.
Meanwhile, Dada took Janie up a real ski lift for the first time!! So exciting!
Here’s her first run.
Here’s a longer run. Sorry for the shaky video. Dada was also on a snowboard.
Peanut did some snowboarding too but then had some fun playing with the snow too.
What a fun day in the snow!
We took our time getting up this morning and had a proper breakfast before heading out. Peanut had some extra time to do some coloring too.
We got up early this morning and drove up to Truckee.
The kids were still in their PJs and put on their snow gear when we arrived at the snow park.
There was so much snow and more coming down in flight fluffy balls that looked like styrofoam.
Peanut was so tired by the afternoon and fell asleep on an inner tube.
At the end of the day, we had some tasty ice cream.
After a good night’s rest, the kids were back on the slopes for another day of snowboarding. They were so excited to see the snow shuttle arrive.
Janie rode the longer learning run today and was really getting the hang of stopping.
We went to Soda Springs and the kids spent the day at Planet Kids for some snowboarding. It was their first day on a board and they had such a good time.
Peanut LOVED riding the shuttle to Planet Kids from the parking lot. It was a snow jeep that pulled another cart for passengers.
Here’s Janie’s first ride down the hill on a snowboard. The kids spent the morning just riding down the hill on their own.
Peanut looked like a natural on the board.
We ended up getting a lesson for Janie and she worked on stopping. We paid for a group lesson but she ended up getting a private lesson because no one else signed up.
Planet Kids has lots of other stuff to do include tubing and an inner tube carousel!
On the way back to the hotel, we stopped for ice cream to celebrate Janie’s first day on a snowboard.
