Ben preparing his first power point

Skiing

Josh decided to ditch the leash the last time we were up skiing and because he wants to go where his brother goes, today he decided he had to go down Hot Wheels Gully.  Here's a clip of the boys navigating a rather interesting spot on the run- they both just pointed their skis and went for it.

Hot Chocolate

Last month we went to Carolines Coffee Roaster for more Outside Inn blog research, today, with our snow day and wet weather seemed like a perfect day to share the photos of the boys' hot chocolate.  The post on the Inn's blog is here, but you don't get to see the little people who were sampling the goodies, so I thought I'd post a couple of photos of the product tasters on here.

Independence Trail

My research assistants out helping me scout out great hikes in the Nevada City area.  Here's a link to the Outside Inn blog post I did on the Independence Trail.  No explanation needed for why I had Ben 10 alien Heatblast and Ultimate Humongousaur along with me, right?

Mardi Gras

The boys went to watch the Mardi Gras parade today with Dan.  Click here to see the Outside Inn's blog post about the event.  And I love that the two of them went in their Ben 10 alien costumes, because why not right?

Weekend in Tahoe

A weekend in Tahoe.  A few skis runs with Nana.  A play and picnic at Commons Beach with the Kellermanns.  Not much snow, but we're still enjoying it.

Skiing

I didn't bring the real camera, so here are a few snap shots via the phone of our time in Tahoe.  Ben at the top of Scott Chair (a bit beyond his ability level, but he was a super trooper).

Dan and Josh riding Yellow Chair.
