2024 February Lake Tahoe

Feb 6

In February, Natasa, Johaan, Shayhan, and I eagerly packed our ski bags for a thrilling trip to Lake Tahoe. To add to the excitement, I managed to persuade my cousin Yufei and her husband Dennis to join us, along with their kids Percy and Sophie, for a memorable weekend getaway. My reunion with Yufei happened unexpectedly during a layover in San Francisco on my way back from Shanghai. Despite giving her only 12 hours' notice, she graciously picked me up from the airport, marking the first time I met her children.

A month later, with a two-week heads-up, we rendezvoused again, this time in Tahoe. While Yufei's children were too young to ski, it was their inaugural encounter with snow, adding a sprinkle of magic to the trip. The children bonded effortlessly, with Johaan and Shayhan taking Percy under their wings, imparting wisdom on snow-stomping techniques and sharing their fascination with luxury cars. It was heartwarming to witness their camaraderie blossom. Throughout the trip, the children exchanged stories and formed connections, leaving us hopeful for future reunions. Here's to more cherished moments with them down the road!

在二月份，Natasa、Johaan、Shayhan和我兴致勃勃地收拾好滑雪装备，前往塔霍湖度过一次滑雪之旅。我还成功说服了我的表姐Yufei和她的丈夫Dennis带着他们的孩子Percy和Sophie来塔霍湖度周末。我在从上海回家途中在旧金山停留六小时时见到了Yufei。我只提前通知了她12小时，所以当她能够接我时，我感到非常惊喜。这是我第一次见到她的孩子。

一个月后，我提前两周通知她，我们再次在塔霍湖见面。Yufei的孩子们还太小，无法滑雪，但这是他们第一次见到雪。孩子们相处得非常融洽。Johaan和Shayhan把Percy带在身边，教他如何跺雪和介绍了所有昂贵的汽车。他们之间相处得非常愉快。孩子们一直在询问对方。希望我们将来能够再次见到他们。
