Tahoe: Day One
We got up to Tahoe last night and relaxed in our home for the week. The kids were very excited to check out the house and pick their bed.
Everyone slept well, and we headed out early to horseback ride and take one of the rafts out onto the lake. Vido and I took turn swimming to get ready for our race. The water is so refreshing, a bit cold 56.85 degrees, but thanfully our wetsuits work really well.
The kids like that they can turn the tv on and seem to want to watch more tv here, than at home since it’s in the living room, front center.
Vido and I are both taking turns getting a mt bike ride and a short run in. Just trying to breath in the thin air up here.

Mother’s Day 09
Vido always asks what I want to do, and I have answered the same three years in a row. Go surfing. So that’s what I did with my friend, Mary jo. Surf wasn’t great, but the water has warmed up and as always, it’s great to get in the water and paddle and hopefully catch a few waves and not get pummeled by a ramdon rouge outside set.
After surfing we hit Fisherman’s warf and had breakfast.
When I got home the kids made jell-o with strawberries and marshmellows and cup cakes with green sprinkles, since green is my favorite. They also made cards and picked up a giant balloon at the store.
What a day!

Dance Recital
Quinn took her first dance class with friends from Montessori, Emma, Merille, and Nina. It was a ballet, tap combo. The group did a little performance for us for the last class. Afterwards we went to the local bakery for a treat.
A BIG thanks to Pat, Jean and Kay for being the drivers in our little car pool. Really, I owe you guys.

Easter came early
One of our friends invited us to a easter egg hunt. The kids were so excited about hunting for candy-filled eggs, that they practiced. They hid things in the yard and then went and found them. Of course the real thing was much more enjoyable. Big thank you to Jean for inviting us.

Jog-A-Thon
Finnegan completed 12 laps at his school’s jog-a-thon. He raised $60, $10 came from the lemonade stand that we had. Thanks to all who sponsored him. He was very excited to have collected enough money for his school to earn a small prize.
The best part for him of course was the popcicle and going home with mom instead of on the bus.
