Fun in the Snow

Last Wednesday we were at Daniel's house the night before they left for their ski trip; I'm always surprised at the amount of packing it takes to get their family of six ready to go. I can't even imagine how long the list must be, when, in addition, to all the regular "stuff," there is ski equipment for five, skiwear for six and food/snacks for six. Stephen helped Daniel get the Thule storage box mounted on the car.  

Thursday afternoon they drove to the Kirkwood Mountain Resort which, because it is southwest of Lake Tahoe, is about an hour closer for them.  The lodge is basically on the mountain which makes it easier for them.

Friday morning, Daniel, M, J and A hit the slopes.  Shannon and little M stayed at the condo and he got his first taste of playing in the snow.

In the afternoon, Shannon was able to ski with M and J, while Daniel watched the two youngest.

Sometime on Saturday, Shannon found time to bake Daniel's favorite birthday treat, lemon bars!  I'm so happy that they are able to find spend family time together doing one of their favorite things.  Wish I could have been there to get some "live-action" shots.
