Little Cabin in the Woods

For our 3 day weekend, we headed back up to Nannie and Papa's cabin. The forecast looked a little iffy but we hit the jack pot.

On the way up the mountain, we made a picturesque potty stop. Check out that beautiful blue sky!

It rained all night which made it a perfect chilly albeit early (5 am) morning for hot cocoa and playdoh.

By mid-day, the sky was clearing and we headed farther up the mountain into Big Bear to do a little sledding. The boys took a short winters nap on the way.

Beautiful scenery!!

We had a BLAST!!!

Tahoe or Bust!!

This summer we embarked on a funtastic road trip to Tahoe, just me and the boys. We were meeting up with three other friends of mine from elementary school and their kids.

We hit the road with ease and set off North for the next 11 hours...yep, 11 hours to Sacramento thanks to traffic at several spots along the way.

At one of our potty stops, we discovered our first roadtrip casualty, green army man assaulted by a mini M&M.

We finally made it to Sacramento near bedtime and luckily, everyone was ready to catch some ZZZZs

Off to the state capitol in the morning

On our way to Tahoe, we stopped for lunch at a Gold Mine

we didn't find any gold but the mine was nice and cool

Almost there! A quick stop to play in the snow

WooWhoo!!

and so the madness begins...

Lots of Lake Time

Caden and Bradi had lots of fun zooming around the shore. Caden is a most excellent backseat driver.
