We spent the last days couple of days up near South Lake Tahoe, nestled within the El Dorado National Forest in Somerset, CA because of some kind friends who invited us up to a cabin they rented from Airbnb.

The first day we explored was NYE - and decided to just find an ample area with snow for some childs play. And we did. And it was a grand ol success. Jax even said - that was the best baseball field ever {because of all the snow}. In hindsight, we realized that on NYE we should have driven up to Tahoe and or the Sno-Park there instead of going up when we actually did which was on new years day - when everyone is off and everyone was thinking the same thing! Oh well, as is life - we didn't quite make it up to the Sno-Park because it was all sold out but did have some snow play, again off the side of the road around Strawberry Lodge.

Here was our first day for some snow play somewhere off the side of the road we decided to stop at! We set our destination out to somewhere near Pollock Pines since the elevation was at 4,000 feet - where you start to see some snow. It was only about 40 minutes from the cabin.

More photos to come soon!

I set up a tripod in our living room and asked my family to have a little fun, and this is what we came up with:

I think Jax and Charlie had the most fun. Jax really got into doing funny faces and pressing the remote. He also then tried to direct the shoot as well and would comment: oh, that was a good one! and turn your head this way, oh no, that's not good - and I want you to make a funny face, like this..

anyway, maybe I should have tethered it so that we could see if we all 4 were looking at the camera or have our eyes all open. There were A LOT of photos, some would be great of me and not so great of Charlie or vice versa or the kids would run out of the picture or...anyway, we had a lot of fun and Jax learned some of the buttons on my camera..not sure if that's a good thing or not.

After the photo session, I gave the boys a hair cut. I think I cut Jax's hair a little too short :(

Jax, just said as he watches me load this post up - let's take pictures!

What are you guys up to this weekend? I have a photo shoot today, so I'm packing and getting ready :)

So when I was a kid, I used to love going to those go kart, bumper cart, mini golf places with my family. It was like a mini (mini) disneyland for me, ok not really, but you get the idea. My Dad was an avid golfer back then (not so much now, which is weird since the sport has gained so much more popularity and - well, I thought when you got older, that's just sort of the sport you do - especially when you are a Dad anyway..) and since you have to be serious on the golf course, it was always so much more fun to go tee off at a mini golf place and be all goofy. That's where  - BOOMERS! comes in..and there's a coupon! WOOT!
