Calvin’s First Trip to the Snow

“Daddy pee in cup. Throw it out the window. MORE PLEASE!”

That’s what a toddler says on hour 8 out of 9 total hours in the car when your 3.5 hour road trip to Tahoe turns into 9 hours due to mudslides, and you are at a dead stop at the detour, and the husband reaaaally has to pee. A lot. I now fully believe that Calvin’s first memory in his little brain will forever be his dad peeing in a cup and dumping it out the window…. more than once.

We went up to the snow a few weeks ago, my wonderful wedding clients had me travel there to do their engagement photos in the snow, and we decided to stay a couple of extra nights for some family ime after my work was done. It is so much fun showing this silly little guys new things for the first time. He loved exploring a new house- we stayed in a VRBO house ( want to check it out? See it here…) which was cooovered in snow and super comfortable for our little family. It was a complete time capsule from 1989 complete with severely dated people magazines, canned goods that expired in 1991, and carpet in the bathroom- or maybe that’s a thing in coler climates? What to you do when the toilet overflows? I just have so many questions about carpet in a bathroom….)

Calvin’s favorites were waking up to see the snow plow come up our driveway, watching Mike + I hurl ourselves down a hill on a sled (he went with me a few times too), and he was fascinated by the icicles. We had fun exploring with him and getting a few days of time to relax together after I was done working. Can’t wait to plan our next little getaway.
