The life of a Truckee Ski bunny!

Lora, Ruby and I left Sacramento on Saturday morning to head up to Truckee to visit with Jack and Vanessa Childress and their two girls. We had a blast! We went sledding, played a heap of board games, went hot tubbing, and even hit the slopes above Donner Lake.

The three of us above Donner Lake! No cannibalism occurred during the taking of this picture.

The weather couldn't have been better for our adventure. We ended up skiing up the ridge behind us in the lower picture and then skiing down the N face a little to the left just out of the picture. Ruby shredded it up. She slept most of the way uphill and then on the way down she was staring at me and even smiling. I'm not kidding! Each day with her is amazing and today was no exception. It was so special looking out over the lake from way up high on the Pacific Crest Trail with my little girl.

Just a normal family portrait... right?

I wish I could say we went to the hot tub after skiing like in the movies but we actually went the day before with the Childress family. The hot tub was a kid friendly, no chlorine, salt water, 97 degree affair. So no one freak out. Ruby loved it! We spent about 20-30 minutes soaking in the sun. The pictures tell the best story.

She is so adorable.
