Tahoe Trip – Part 1

These next few posts will be terribly out of order, but at least they’re going to get done. Eventually.  Much love to Mr. Tony for taking pictures with his snazzy camera as my cruddy little point-and-shoot came out a blurry mess.  Clearly, I had anticipated more from my camera than it was designed for and left my higher quality camera back at the cabin.  Lesson learned.

So in our two weeks off between the end of the school year and summer school, we rented a cabin for a week with the Gartins and the Fazzios for some good ol’ Tahoe fun.  As the boys are very active and Todd had to come to Reno to pick me up from the airport (another story, another post) everyone decided to head out to Reno for the day.  In Reno is one of those trampoline places and we thought the boys would love it.  The parents loved it because the Fazzios had a hook up and we didn’t have to pay. Sweet.

Did the boys love it? Uh . . . YES.  Did both my boys love it? You betcha. 

Was I jealous? Yes. Lame.

Luke’s favorite part? Jumping into the foam pit.

Daddy’s favorite part? Jumping into the foam pit.

Todd: (think he enjoys trampolines?)

The kids having fun altogether.  Being reminded repeatedly to get out of “traffic” on the trampolines. (ie: 15 year old boys being crazy.)

“Tony. Seriously. You’re not really going to take my picture in such an unflattering pose. Right? You know that this is a terrible angle. Right? Right?” Crap.  FYI: I had just flown in from SJ and was super tired/cranky/irritated. Oh and hugely pregnant. Bleh.

Drowning in a sea of foam.  While Mommy just watches.

So we discovered that we need to find more of these places in our area because there are so few activities that actually tire our boys out.  I mean, seriously. It is no surprise that there are going to be 4.5 years between my kids.  Luke is exhausting.  I am far more tired than he is by the end of the day.  That being said, I totally won on the husband front:  Todd can at least keep up with him.  Todd is awesome for that.  Especially now more than ever as I cannot physically do half of what Luke wants to do.

Good Reno times for the afternoon and then back to Tahoe for relaxation.  Which is what I was really ready for!
