Snow Trips

After Christmas we drove to Yosemite with Megan's family. We saw some snow, had lunch at the Ahwanhee hotel and enjoyed seeing this beautiful place in all of its winter glory. Can't wait to go back this summer and enjoy some of the hiking trails and bike paths!


Then we went up to North Tahoe to celebrate the New Year! About 16 of our good friends from LA met up at our friend Tim's cabin and we played a lot of games, ate some amazing food and skied. (And I need to mention that this cabin is a lot less "cabin" and a lot more beautiful house nestled up to a golf course covered in snow. WOW!) Unfortunately, I didn't get any pictures with anybody in them but I promise that we had a ton of fun. Dave tried snowboarding for the first time and enjoyed himself. We both stayed at the cabin the second day and Dave needed to get out some energy so he spent most of the day building an elaborate snow fort on the front porch. Here are some examples of his architectural skills:
He constructed chairs and cup holders and decorated with icicles.
And for protection he needed a mound of snowballs.

Here he is very proud of his creation. A fire pit in the snow!

Thanks to Tim for an awesome end to our 2009! Can't wait to see what 2010 has in store for us...
