First Snow!

We spent the weekend in North Lake Tahoe and introduced N to the snow for this first time. Due to the new stimulation, N came out with some excellent one liners throughout the weekend.

On seeing the snow for the first time while driving she got almost choked up: "I just can't believe it's white everywhere. Oh, it's so beautiful. I can't believe we're really in the snow."

After a few more minutes of driving she offered: "When I grow up I'm going to write books about my life like Laura Ingalls Wilder and the chapter of this trip will be called 'Snow, Finally.'"

We broke off icicles from the roof and handed them to her: "My first icicle!" She broke off another one herself "My second icicle!"

"It's like a piece of glass, but it's cold!"

She also tried to get us to sled down the steepest sled hill available at a park telling us that it's "not THAT dangerous!"

On the way home two days later, N kept herself awake in the car by talking almost without stopping for over forty-five minutes. When she finally ran out of things she wanted to tell us (or steam) she reflected "It's nice to have a chance to talk for awhile. Especially when you don't interrupt me like you usually do."
