Girls Weekend 2011

Girls Weekend 2011 was a little different this year; Ali was in Novato with the boys, Michelle was starting teaching again and Paige was in Bass Lake. Jen and I didn't let that slow us down and we kept the tradition alive. We added stand-ins this year since we were traveling a little light and brought my cousin Alex and Michelle and Trevor. It was another great trip to Tahoe and the boys all had a great time. Alex got a taste of what motherhood would be like, she even got the pleasure of waking up with Andrew and Grevin at 1:30 in the morning! We had an action packed weekend going swimming, making candles, Build-A-Bear, eating ice cream and hunting for pine cones to make bird feeders. It was a great trip!

Andrew picked out his pine cone!

Best Friends in Tahoe. I can't wait until they are 18 and we still make them walk hand-in-hand to get a cute picture. :)

The boys wasted no time, found the creek and took off their shoes.

Grey found his pine cones.

Don't worry Oma, we cleaned up all the bird seed that fell on the floor!

The boys were so excited about making their animals. Grey got a kitty, Andrew got a lion and Trevor got a giraffe.

Alex made a candle at the candle store. It was a lot of fun and came out really cool.

Trevor loves his giraffe.

I think the boys ate more peanut butter than they used spreading it on the pine cones.

Pool Time!

Jen took Zoe back to the condo to take a nap and my job was to entertain the boys and keep them alive. After a successful trip to the pool, I thought they needed some pizza and ice cream! (They think I'm pretty cool now)

Not sure why this picture is out of order but you can see how much fun the boys had at the pool.
