Aussie Invasion

Friends Van, Eytan & Eva (16 months) arrived last week from Australia! 

Eva and Kenzo were so happy to see each other in person - Skype just wasn't enough any longer for these two!

This was the afternoon of their arrival - poor Eva is looking a bit worn out after the travel days!

Kitty & Monkey, aka Eva & Kenzo, ready for bed.

Showing Eva the snowy world of Tahoe!

                                               A little sledding in our backyard!

Me and Van skiing, well, riding on the Funitel. 

We had gorgeous blue skies and warm temps, which is the opposite of what we wanted: SNOW!!!

The buddies enjoying a little snack...

Another sunny day, which was perfect for Eva's first day on skis! 

Eva's first run with Auntie Julie!

                                            Shredding Subway at Alpine Meadows!

One of many dinner gatherings with different groups of  friends! 

Hmm, we seem to be very good at eating and drinking...

At Alpine Meadows.

The buddies had a great time while...

Enjoying their time in the van...

And helping out with laundry...

 And watching "Curious George"...

And having dinner...

And doing errands through town...

More playing in the yard...

Exploring the park playground...
 

And playing the piano at Melanie & Neil's house... 

Besties at Alpine Meadows for another beautiful day!

Van treated herself to all the good tourist treats!

And you can't resist a little something for the mini cutie!

We had a fabulous time with our friends - the time went by too quickly. It's times like these that make our lives so rich and worthwhile.
