It was a super quick visit, but an enjoyable one all around! The weather was perfect for the drive. We did get a little turned around on our way down,; there is a fancy turnabout in Fernley! But we made it safe to Mom & Karl's house. After 12 years of living in Denver, they decided to retire back in Vegas. I campaigned heavily for them to come to Reno, but their perception of how much snow we get won out.
No worries, grandma and grandpa have plenty of space for us to visit them! I was freaking out about the bunk beds in their room, but it was pretty perfect and the girls did fine. Cass and Savvy were way excited to discover the treasures located in a purple, owl covered trunk. Dolls and toys abound! And all of that shall stay at their house for the next visit ;-)
We were lucky to visit with some friends while in town! It was a super quick trip with the purpose of attending a wedding on Saturday night. I'm really happy we got to see Che, Stephen and Terri and finally meet Sawyer on Saturday! He was adorably sweet and wanted to hug Savvy. To Daddy's delight, Savvy was not into the hug so much. We'll see how long that lasts. Daddy may still sit outside in a rocker with a glare and a gun one day!
Sunday we got to see Chrissy and David and all three of their girls! Each one, stunning! Five girls in the house running, playing, and screaming was a good time! They all magically appeared at the table when lunch arrived. Then melt downs started to announce nap time. It is so nice having friends with kids who don't stress over the outbursts and just get it! One kid is crying? No biggie- we got it. Doesn't even matter whose kid or which one, every parent jumps in, consoles, and moves on!
Steve and Judi's wedding was beautiful! Their vows made me cry. And with the grandparents watching the girls, it was a pleasant night out just the grownups! Other than one blurry shot my momma took of us, we opted to not take the camera and just be and have fun and focus on them. They had a photographer so we're looking forward to seeing the pictures later! The food was great, the dancing was on point, and the company at our table was awesome! A+ for tabel seating/placement. I hope we get a chance to hang out with them again!
The drive home was great. The Nevada desert is stunning and when you watch the sun set and see shooting stars and the mountains turn dusky pink, it's just magical. And driving through some of the old mining towns is a bit creepy. But no speeding tickets for us! And the girls were great the whole way. Good snacks, movies, games and books made for a lovely drive.
We got in pretty late Sunday night and by the time Matt and I actually got to bed it was almost 1am. I didn't feel tired though, because of the buzz around what was happening on Monday. The first day of kindergarten...
