weekend get away


Our little family had the opportunity to escape to beautiful Lake Tahoe for the weekend. Our fabulous friends, the Solano's, had an extra condo open up & offered it to our family. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! We enjoyed 4 days, 3 nights up @ North Star. Our boys were a little bummed that there was NO SNOW but in the same breath, they were happy to be wearing shorts. Yes, it is November & my boys are still wearing shorts any chance they get.

While in Tahoe, we enjoyed: movies, the gorgeous weather,

ice skating,





roasting s'mores @ night down @ the rink,

Rubicon pizza



& garlic bread sticks, endless hours of tackle football(mom watched & cheered them on), Kings beach,

spending time with the Soalno's & Laprays,


chocolate crackles by the dozen, college footabll on the TV, bungee/trampoline jumping,




& the Jacuzzi tub,

{are my boys going to kill me some day for posting this photo?}

going to bed late & getting to sleep in a little, & spending time with good friends.




Between our 3 families, we had 12 children total in tow. 9 boys & 3 girls! Whew, that is a bunch of kids :)!!!

It was a great little escape/vacation for our family! It sure is nice to be home but we are already missing it!

i agree with my sisties. and don't worry, my kids still think it's okay to wear shorts and lately it's only been in the 30's for the high.
