Snow Trip

On Saturday we packed our car with luggage, the kids and friends and be left towards Reno, Nevada.  On our way there we stoped at a ski resort, but were told no sleds allowed there.  We continued on towards Lake Tahoe and found this place where sleds could be used and the kids had so much fun.

With us were three more families, all together we were 23 people.  12 adults and 11 kids under 16 years old.

Everyone had so much fun, riding down the hill with the sleds.  Including me.  This was not the perfect place for sled sliding.  But we all had our fun.  Later in the afternoon we arrived to Reno and stayed at the Circus Resort Inn.  The kids had so much fun playing games and winning prizes.  Had dinner at a buffet. 

My son was not feeling well by the evening.  His head was hurting and he has stomachache.  I took my kids to the hotel room and we rested there for the evening while everyone else was out having fun.  My husband left to the slot machines. 

It so happens that we were in Reno the day of the traditional Santa Crawl.  Many people were dressed in Santa outfits, Grinch, Elfs, Christmas presents. 

Next Morning we went to have breakfast at the Silver Legacy Buffet.  Then checkout from hotel and back to the snow again.

This time we took a family picture and the area was much better for sled riding.  I have a video posted on facebook. 

We arrived home at around 5 PM and we quickly unloaded the vehicles and headed to our parish.  We could not miss the Mass for Our Lady of Guadalupe.

I was very thankful that we all had a great time and no one got hurt.  We had a safe trip on the road, great weather and not to much traffic.  Hope you all had a great weekend.
