First Ski Trip!

Our first ski trip was a success!  We had a great time at Heavenly this past weekend.  The kids all did a full day of ski school, and Paul and I took a refresher lesson.

We had to leave early on Monday and cancel our lessons as a big storm was rolling in.  We got out before the 3 feet of snow hit the mountain!  They had already closed many sections of the mountain by 8am when we were checking in, due to the 100mph winds at the top!

Sorry, no pictures as it was snowing the whole time.  But will definitely do better at pics this weekend when we spend this day at Soda Springs. 

The biggest downside to driving to Tahoe is traffic - and chain control!  We had to put chains on the car on Hwy 50 heading into South Tahoe.  (And then take them back off after the summit).  Messy, dirty work, and the lines backup ahead of chain control.

First Day 4th Grade!

Orinda Country Cotillion

The Orinda Country  Cotillion  is a forty year community tradition sponsoring a series of seven evening dance classes and welcomes all seventh graders in Orinda.  The boys are girls are both broken into two sections, so every other dance is with the opposite boy group. Two of the dances are themed (a sock hop and country -western) and the rest are semi-formal.  Last night was the first dance in the seven dance series.  Kate and her friend Zoe had a great time.  They learned the fox trot and a line dance.  Seemed like fun!
