Lake Tahoe Trip

Anna Hurtado Reports:
A FUN and Fabulous weekend in Lake Tahoe. Saturday morning two vans full of children headed out to Lake Tahoe. The children laughed and chatted the whole way over, except when the vans became suddenly quiet as we drove down the snowy decline into to Tahoe City. The kids silently took in the amazing view of the snow covered mountains. With the freshly fallen snow the sight was magnificent. The weekend was spent having snow ball fights, looking for animal tracks in the snow, sleighing down a small hill, making hot chocolate and ice cream sundaes, and ice skating. All the children agreed that ice skating outside while it was snowing was the best part of the weekend. For most of the children this was their first time seeing or touching snow, so it was a really special experience. When I asked one boy why he liked eating the snow he said "Because it's such fresh water!"

Overall a great success! This same group of children will head back in August so that they can experience Tahoe in the summer.
