First snow of the season for us. First snow ever for Oliver. First snow I've experienced with Dexter. South Lake Tahoe, below Heavenly. Hale, Colleen, Maya and Eli. Similar to luge tracks but widened
for inner tubes just behind our cabin, #6. Just a hop up the hill. Digging deep for clean ice serenaded in grenadine syrup. Ambushed by the kids
and pelted with a flurry of snow balls. Bad dad moment videotaping one downhill run- leading to a crash, camera spinning 360 ten to fifteen times. Holding on to Oliver, bad dad slips when standing and clobbers the back of his own head. Clouded head does not prevent the thrill of the ride downhill; laughter all the way. At the top of the hill post crash, Oliver reminds to keep my legs together. Games, naps, hot chocolate, Irish coffee, a call from Allison that John has broken his collarbone, view of Voyager, car rental and many groceries, laughter in Apples to Apples, pictures to tell a story.
As always, it's a pleasure seeing the world with the Chews! Like many, we are so blessed by your friendship and enjoy our slightly unusual adventures. I don't think we have done dry heat-next trip..the desert!
