Our journey to Lake Tahoe


Bryan couldn't take more time off work so we went to Lake Tahoe with out him. We definately missed him while we were there. We met up with Gram-E, Bayden & Mandy and Kami & Kai in Winnemucca and then made the rest of the trip together.


We went to Virginia City one day. I didn't take any pictures that day :(. WE saw cowboys and outlaws, took a trolley ride and McCrae's favorite, a train ride which included riding through tunnels. It was fun learning about gold and silver mines and seeing the history.

This is how Kellon and I spent our pool time. Too bad it wasn't inside the pool! He wanted to be everywhere EXCEPT in the water.


Uncle Bayden and Kellon becoming good friends.



In front of the castle


McCrae hitched a ride because he was "running out of energy". I knew I couldn't carry him. Uncle Bayden saved the day!


All the cousins taking a break from hiking.


On the trail down to the sweedish castle. Proof that Kellon was there. He had the best mode of transportation for the steep hike back up.


A beautiful waterfall way above the lake.


It wasnt' hard to wear out the kids each day. A hike mixed with too much sun does it every time.

For the trip home I did not anticipate throw up when I packed an overnight bag for the three of us. We started home and stayed the night at Kami and Kai's house. The boys slept the whole trip from Carson City to Winnemucca so when I took them in the house McCrae went right back to sleep. Kellon was an entirely different story. He wanted to eat so as I was finding something he gagged and threw up. I had to borrow jammies from Laina. I guess this is how he would look as a girl?
The rest of the way home was an adventure as well. I took a wrong turn in Wells, NV and we ended up in Twin Falls, ID rather than Snowville and Tremonton OOPS! It made for a VERY long day and a grouchy mom the whole trip.
