| Heading up the shore, for breakfast at Matt’s house | After breakfast (brunch, really), it’s time to play in the snow! | Tahoe had just had a nice big snowstorm, so there was plenty of piles of fresh snow around | Which Flynn made full use of | Matt getting the plastic sleds he picked up for us | Guinness tries to see who’s throwing snow at him (it’s the trees) |
| Joining in | Already been elbow-deep in the snow | Matt gets into the fray | We headed out to the forest, just behind Matt’s house | Kids enjoying the free ride | A friendly Husky caught up with us just as Guinness was getting ready to slide |
| Flynn, working his way over the starting hump | Flynn staying on track | Guinness takes his turn | Snow angels in the meadow | This was a great place to make tracks, play in the freshly fallen snow | Flynn especially had a lot of fun digging around |
| Guinness got worn out though, time to head back | Debra and Flynn make their way back up the hill | Walking back | Matt’s house | Guinness helps clear the back deck | Surely Flynn’s helping with something |
| Debra and Innaias by the toasty wood stove | But under the blanket is better | Flynn and Guinness regaled Matt with all sorts of games | They loved having a captive audience | The next day, Matt had to work, but we met up at the Fire Sign Cafe for breakfast | After breakfast (brunch, really), we headed to Sugar Pine State Park |
| Playing in the snow while Innaias gets his lunch | Flynn made a snow fort out of a big snow pile | Guinness helped | They both made sure a lot of snow moved around | Once Innaias was done, we headed toward “The Mansion” | Flynn and Debra have a snowball fight |
| Guinness looks on | A cheap shot | Sitting on the snowbank | Get a shot with Daddy too! (Yes, that’s lake, mountain, and sky you see behind us through the trees) | This wasn’t quite as good for snow angels as the meadow, but it was still pretty good | Guinness’s snow angel |
| Some sugar pine cones…they are BIG | More playing in the snow | This looks like a great sledding hill, if you can stop at the bottom | Otherwise, you’ll be very wet and very cold | Flynn was buried under a Mommy-induced avalanche | Guinness is extremely tired by this point, and having trouble with his hat |
