The Trip to Tahoe

After a long travel day the day before, we headed off to Tahoe on Christmas Sunday. We were armed with dvds rented from our library (and because of the holiday closures I wouldn't have to think about renewing them before we returned!!!) and they helped the kids (and consequently Ryan and I) endure the slow, snow-covered roads through the mountains. I can't express how wonderful it was to have fresh new movies to distract the kids with!!! Anyway, six hours later we finally arrived at the cabin and were greeted by the warmth of the fire and friendship (wasn't that a lovely sentiment?).

After being cooped up in the truck one might have thought that the kids were pooped and ready for a nice, warm, evenings sleep. One who doesn't have kids might think that. If they did, they be sorely mistaken (and very tired the next morning). On the contrary, they were excited about their friends, the cabin, the bunk beds, and just about everything else.

Two hours, and many threats tucks-back-into-beds later, the cabin was quiet, with the exception of the adults catching up by the fire.

Ahhhhh....we were on vacation.
