JADEN'S FIRST SNOW TRIP



We all went to Lake Tahoe for a couple of days so Jaden could see the snow - plus the big guys wanted to go snowboarding. Edwin, Sharon, Dennis, and Jennifer arrived around 10:00 on Thursday night. Melo & Kenji arrived around midnight. On Friday, Dennis, Jen, Kenji, and Melo went to Diamond Peak to go snowboarding. Edwin and Sharon stayed behind and went to the store and got the "home theater" set up. We always have fun watching movies projected on the wall at the condo. The kids came back around 4:30 - with Dennis walking strangely. Apparently he fell down and jostled his neck and back, so into the hot tub he goes. I think it made him feel a little bit better as he didn't walk as stiff-looking.



Jaden, Michelle, and Brandon come up on Saturday night. You should have seen ALL THE STUFF they brought with them. See pictures ... this is not even including the baby's bed which we brought up. It really is like moving house!!!! I had forgotten how much planning it takes to travel with a baby.












While Michelle & I were out buying the baby some cooler pajamas (the condo was really hot), Edwin and Jenny got Jaden in his snowsuit (sorta) and took him out for a walk -- his first look at snow. We stop the van and get out the little sled and let Jaden have a mini ride down a little part of the parking lot.






























The next day we go to saucer hill with Jaden. It was actually snowing while we were there. Jaden wasn't sure how he felt about this cold weather and white stuff, but after a while he was smiling again.



It was a great weekend!!!!
