Traveling as Two - Reno

Baby Doll and I have been having so much fun together in Reno. Our friends, T & B have been graciously shuttling us all over because we don't have a car with us. On Saturday, they offered to take us with them to Lake Tahoe since they had never been there and our games didn't start until 4:00.

We got on the road early, before 9:00, and our first stop was Tunnel Creek Station for breakfast. (The 8000+ altitude meant a little oxygen was necessary for these bad lungs.)

The food was amazing, even the eggs, and you know how I feel about eggs.

The scenery was beautiful.

I thought it might be fun to stop by the little cabin we stayed in 2 years ago. It took us a few minutes, but we finally found it.

Baby Doll & B wandered into the water of Lake Tahoe even though it was very cold.

I think they lasted less than a minute!!

We got back just in time for a quick nap before the team lunch and subsequent games.

Baby Doll was amazing!! I even made a couple of videos for you.

They won all three matches!! Now for the final single elimination tournament tomorrow.

State Sterling Scholar

On Thursday, Curly, Hailey, and I drove to Bountiful for State Sterling Scholar. Unfortunately, Curly didn't win. But we still had a good time.

After it was over, we grabbed some sandwiches at Firehouse Sub. The kids took me to the airport where I climbed onto a flight to Reno. Baby Doll rode down with a friend for the volleyball tournamentl but joined me Friday morning.

It's a very busy weekend...

A Fun Visit

Last Sunday, my cute niece stopped by. She was visiting from Tennessee and she wanted me to see her cute baby girl. Claire is about 2 weeks older than Teach's twins.

I love this cute pic.
