He's Hooked

Harrah's has an arcade that is better than any Chuck E. Cheese I have ever been to. 

I don't know who was happier that I agreed to this: Damon or Austin.  Damon could not believe that I would agree to go...and then once it was over, Austin asked if we could go back! 

Leisure Cruise

First Ski Lesson

Austin was great!  I was nervous.  I am always so surprised by how easily he can pick up new things.   After his private lesson, Damon and Austin skied for another 3 solid hours.  We stopped for lunch, and then they skied for another hour before we headed home for the day.  Austin wanted to go back for a second day--I could hardly move my legs the next day!!!

Bowling

This was Austin's first time to bowl.  He really enjoyed it.  After the first game he definitely wanted more, but the entire second game was a little too much. 

I enjoyed learning the art of bowling with bumpers...it takes skill to know where to bounce the ball off the bumper at the right angle to knock down a few pins! 

Hiking Lake Tahoe

Snowman

This is the snowman we made...he really isn't that smushed.  Austin was soooo happy playing in the snow!

Sledding

This is our first day out in the snow...see how happy we are!  We used that sled allllll day for 2 solid days!  We had soooo much fun sliding down the hill, climbing back up, and then sliding down again. 

We are now the proud owners of a yellow tie-dye sled.
