12-30-08: Snow Day

Today was a beautiful day in the Sierras, perfect for a trip to the snow!

Grandma, Grandpa, Derek, Terri, Deacon, Maren, Jana & Elias piled in Grandpa's van and headed up Highway 50 toward South Lake Tahoe.

o
Maren, ready to go.

o
Found a nice place a few miles west of Tahoe... Elias was the first to slide down the snowy slopes!

o
Deacon played in the snow for the very first time!

o
So did Maren, who wasn't sure what to make of the deep drifts she kept sinking into.

o
Building a snowman!

o
One day before his 75th birthday, Grandpa was the biggest kid of all!

o
Playin' and thinkin'.

o
As usual, Grandma held the coats, bags, and whatever else we gave her.

o
Derek, ready for a fight.

o
After taking many snowballs to the back from his ruthless uncle, Elias finally got even!

o
The parking lot was just as much fun as anywhere else!

o
Heading back to Sacramento.

o
Grandma and Grandpa

o
We warmed up later with a great lunch at Buttercup Pantry in Placerville, CA.

o
Happy cousins!
o
We'll catch up with Christmas pics pretty soon... we'll also have full coverage of Grandpa's 75th and Terri's 40th birthday celebrations, tomorrow and Thursday.
