This past weekend, 9 adults, 2 Little Ones, and a cute pooch made the short 3-hour drive to Lake Tahoe for some spring skiing. The Laskey and Grossman Families (including Debbie and Scout), along with Jon, Julie, Sean, and Christine filled a cabin in Truckee on Friday night and hit Squaw Valley on Saturday before heading home on Sunday. Some highlights:
1) Everyone handled one meal and all teams rose to the occasion: shrimp tacos, breakfast burritos, chicken pot pie, and breakfast sandwiches kept us all healthy and happy. The biggest meal delight probably came from Debbie, though, who took a family Trifle recipe and modified it to make it “K4P,” as she called it (many times). For those of you who do not speak in text message lingo, “K4P” translates into “Kosher for Passover.” Anyway, although Debbie made about 18 lbs of trifle (it weighed more than Dahlia and Avi combined), it was all devoured within two days.
2) Avi and Dahlia had another “date,” though their parents are always around (annoying!), so it may be moving into the “friend zone.”
3) While watching the Little Ones for a couple of hours so the moms could ski, the dads got hit on by more women in the lodge than had ever spoken to them in their entire lives. We are sure that it was because of the fantastic tans that we had earned in the morning–not because we were two young dads watching our two infants.
4) Avi skied. No he didn’t, just kidding. He did seem to enjoy the lodge, though, so he’s GOING to be a great skier. Or, at the very least, a truly great apres-skier.
5) There was some great skiing and the weather was beautiful. There’s now a Lake Tahoe album in the Photo Gallery!
