Cabin Fun

The rest of our time in Tahoe was spent having fun doing rather ordinary things: a visit to the park, exploring outside and playing with toys.  Noah was super excited that Grandma brought the 'twains' to the cabin.

I think he might love building the track even more than playing with the actual trains.

And hearing him say, "All aboard!" as he's pretending is just cute.

After seeing a guy at Heavenly shoveling snow, Noah wanted his own shovel.  We heard, "Shubel? Noah shubel?" at least a hundred times before we got back to the cabin.  And 'shubel' (shovel) was the first thing he said when we woke up from his nap.  So, out to shovel some snow we went.

We also spent some time marching in the snow and exploring out behind the cabin.

Noah had a great time picking up pine cones, which he first called pineapples, and throwing them in the water.

And, again, when he wasn't napping, Luke just hung out and relaxed happily.

There was a lot more snow at the park than we expected.  Oh, and it was freezing.  It didn't phase Noah, but poor Luke let us know pretty quickly that all the fat rolls in the world couldn't keep him warm at that point.

So, after a push on the swing,

and a turn down the slide

 we cut our time short at the park and made up for it by going to "E-I-E-I-O" for a little indoor play.
 That's what Noah calls McDonald's. :-)

I wanted to get a picture of Noah with Ronald McDonald, but he wanted to give him hugs. Um, I just love this kid.

It was a great three days.  Grandma and I are already talking about heading up again while Daddy and Grandpa keep 'tounting munies.'
