Lake Tahoe Day 1

Day 1 in Lake Tahoe was all about me getting the kids out of the house and to the airport with 2 sets of skiis/boots, 2 car seats and 3 bags.  Thank goodness for Uncle Matt's help!  Three trips to the bathroom later the plane took off.  The kids were great on the plane which was good because we had two flights and we could not get off of the plane.  The airline was great and the pilot gave the kids a demonstration of the cockpit.  He pushed a whole bunch of buttons and made a lot of whistles and bells go off.
Once we got there I gave up the kids to Chris for some quiet time.  We stayed at an amazingly fancy Marriott right at the Heavenly gondola.  The kids wanted to hit the pool immediately of course.  Look at the far away picture of the kids in the pool.  Snow in the background and a beer in the foreground.  Vacation has started!
And I had to put the last picture here although it was actually taken the next morning.  Since it was 4 am I still considered it not day time yet.  The time difference was tough on the kids the first day AND Rich was excited!  Helmet, snow pants and ski boots on checking out the trail map at 4 am!!

Singing the ABC's

So I finally got it on camera although it isn't his best effort. For those of you who have been around us recently, you know how Rich sings the ABC song ALL DAY LONG. It is obviously his favorite song and he is really good at it! In this video he misses a lot of the letters because he does not want to be taped. But he literally knows all the letters and the ending. I guess he was developing his verbal skills when he was sitting on his bottom for all those months NOT crawling. This was taken this morning and I had to bribe his with a cookie. It was only 9 am, but it was the only way I could get him to do it for the camera.

Celtics courtside!!

Image
At 5:00 Chris got a call from a customer (who happens to live across the street), asking if we wanted his seats for the pre-season Celtics game tonight.  Of course we do!  Yes, it was the first game of the World Series and the Red Sox were playing, but you still can't beat going to a game. Chris had a feeling this guy had good seats, but when we arrived at Row A the kids were ecstatic.  Courtside, directly behind the players seats!  It was so awesome!   They were just feet from us and they were huge.  We could hear the plays they were going to run and then watched them run them.  Angela didn't love the seats because we were almost too close and she had trouble seeing over the 6'7" players!  The game was on ESPN and we were so close to the court that we were also on TV a lot.  My Mom was able to tell me what we were wearing because she watched it.  I found a quick link below.  You can see how close we were. ...
