Tahoe for the Long Weekend

We had a lot of fun in Tahoe but it was quite busy!  Luckily we had rented a house with a front and back yard for us to play in!  We made sledding hills, snow caves (complete with 2 entrances) and snowmen at the house.  Saturday day we made it to one of the ski hills for sledding and lunch.  We had hoped to go tubing but their tubing hill was closed due to weather so we were a bit bummed.  Sunday we went to Heavenly Ski Resort to take the gondola up the mountain.  It was closed Saturday due to the weather so of course it was packed on Sunday!  The ride up was beautiful and the overlook was gorgeous and cold and windy and the kids didn't like it so much, oh well.  At the top we had a snack in the lodge and planned to go tubing.  However, while we were eating they made an announcement that all sightseers and beginning skiers had to go to the gondola immediately because they were closing it due to weather.  So we were bummed again because once again no tubing!  But we did make it to the top so that's something!  Daily hot tubbing with drinks was a favorite as were playing games!  The kids are now Uno pros and have a liking for Chinese Checkers and Slap Jack!
