Pizza, french fries and snow

Grey invited us to Tahoe for a 4 day weekend. Unlike last year, it wasn't for his birthday, there was one less family, and there wasn't nearly as much snow. But this year, I learned to ski! Here's a recap of our weekend.

Friday (1/10): Mommy and daddy picked us up from daycare after lunch and we hit the road. We woke up grumpy in Sacramento, so we took a short break at Target in Sacramento. After running around the store and a snack, we were back on the road. Grey had to make an unplanned pit stop at a pediatric dentist in Vacaville. Turns out a cavity in his two front teeth got infected. He needed antibiotics to help with the pain and swelling and is going to have his teeth pulled. We all made it to the cabin by about 7 pm.

Saturday (1/11): Daddy and I headed out to Sierra at Tahoe for my first ski lesson while mommy and Mason hung out at the house with Grey, auntie Char and uncle Edric. Since parents are not allowed to go to the lesson, I had major issues separating from daddy. After crying for a while, I finally went with my instructor and got all my gear. Turns out there was another Logan in my class. We hung out inside for a while and eventually went outside with our skis. It was snowing! As promised, daddy was right on the other side of the fence watching me. Check out the video of my first day!



My instructor said that I was awesome and recommended that I move up to the next group. We headed back to the house after my lesson for lunch. While everyone else took a nap, daddy and I played outside in the snow. We made a snow shark and snow snail.

What did mommy and Mason do all morning? Well, they played outside with Grey and auntie Char. There wasn't very much snow, but there was enough to make snowballs and throw them. Mason had fun throwing the snowballs. However, he did not like wearing mittens. After a break for snack, they headed back outside when it started to snow. They made and threw some more snowballs, tried to catch a snowflake and started to make a snowman. Mason and mommy didn't get to finish making the snowman because Mason was done after about 10 minutes.

Sunday (1/12): Daddy and I headed back to Sierra for a full day of skiing. I cried when it was time to leave the house and for an hour at the resort. I told mommy that I didn't like ski school because it was different and daddy couldn't go with me. Daddy bought me a stuffed turtle, Ski Turtle, at the gift shop so I could take it with me to ski school. That did the trick.

I had a different instructor today. And because it snowed on Saturday, there was quite a bit more snow. My instructor said that I liked french fries and going fast and needed to work on my pizzas. After lunch, daddy and I skiied together. We rode the chair lift and rode down the green run five times. I liked watching the snowboarders doing tricks on the terrain park while we rode the lift. I fell down getting off the lift the first time, but instead of crying or whining, I laughed. I had a great time skiing! Here's a video of me skiing with daddy:



Mason, mommy, Grey, auntie Char and uncle Edric went sledding at Adventure Mountain in the morning. Mason really enjoyed sledding, even though he and mommy wiped out on their first run. After each run, he'd say, "Again!" or "More!" He refused to walk up the hill and made mommy pull him up on the sled. She got a good workout hiking up the hill.

Monday (1/13): Time to say goodbye and drive back home. I can't wait to go skiing with daddy again. Anyone else want to come with?

Thanks for inviting us to Tahoe Grey! We had a great time! Let's make this an annual trip.
