Jill's Journal: Apparently we picked just the right time to come to Tahoe. We’ve had unbelievably beautiful weather, with daytimes sunny and in the low 70s. We briefly contemplated staying a little longer until we saw the weather forecast for next week: the first snow of the season cometh. Highs will drop to 41 degrees, with lows at 25, and SNOW! As exciting as this sounds to the girls, good sense has to prevail. We’re not going too far, but far enough down the mountain to keep from hauling out the winter jackets a little longer.
Madelyn – still with sleepy eyes – woke me up early this morning to tell me she'd lost another tooth! Her top middle tooth has been hanging on by a thread for weeks; I don’t know how she’s had the willpower to leave it alone and keep from pulling it out. It finally gave way. The other top middle one isn’t too far behind. The Tooth Fairy had better be extra sneaky tonight as Madelyn told me she’s going to try to catch her!
We had dinner by the fire this evening as we bid farewell to the wonderful time we’ve had in Tahoe. Every once in a while, we feel our time in a place was just a little too short. In this case, 2 1/2 weeks wasn’t quite enough. But, somehow I have a feeling we’ll be back. Maybe not this year, maybe not the next, but someday. That pristine lake, those pine trees, that fresh mountain air…it’s in Rob’s blood.

congratulations Madelyn, Keep the tooth fairy busy its good to keep them busy. Jill if it snows next week it normally doesn't stick around for more than a day. As you should know and any Tahoe kid will tell you It can and has snowed on any given day of the year. It has snowed on the first day of school and on the last day of school. Don't let a few flakes stop you from going back up to see people and places. Like the house that replaced ours.

We love snow! It would be fun, but we've found 25 degrees with the thin walls of a fifth wheel is a little chillier than 25 degrees with a house! No sense in fighting frozen water pipes and the like if we don't have to. We are planning to go back to North Shore one more day, so we're not totally done yet. :)
