Heidelberg, Germany

Quick Trip

The kids and I headed to Lake Tahoe to meet up with some friends and get in a little skiing.  

We were there just a day and half but we really enjoyed it. 

The slopes were empty.  Which was great for us!

Here are the kids before we left to ski.  We quickly found out we way over dressed!!  We were burning up!! We had to take a trip to the car and drop off all our gear. People were skiing in shorts.  

Owen picked it up super fast.  

 We made one very bad mistake.  We didn't put on sunscreen and boy did we pay for it!  It was so warm for skiing. In the 60's.  We came home burned and tired.

 Check out this guy... look carefully... he is skiing in his swimsuit with no shirt on!!

My hand grabbing onto the bar because I have a fear of heights.   Lots of praying and deep breathing on the ski lifts.

 Is this a crazy view or what.  So beautiful!

 It was a very painful ride back from Lake Tahoe for Owen.  He started complaining of an earache and as we made the descend down the mountain.  The change in altitude caused Owen to be in tremendous pain.  We did  a lot of praying.  We finally made it home and landed in the ER.  Double ear infection for this guy.  His face says it all in the photo.  Poor guy....we had to wait 4.5 hours in the ER waiting room with a two year old girl who was having tantrums.

A bit of a rough way to end the weekend but God always gets us through it!
