Reno Reviews

Reno Review: School zone speed limit is 15 (not 25 like in CA) and people actually go 15! It's great. Sadly, parents have nothing else to do but come to school 35+ minutes before school gets out and fill up the pick up driveway and parking around the school.

Reno Review #2: Today is the official last day of summer and we got our first day of snow in the mountains (just cold rain at the house)!! Photo taken from our backyard toward the dusted mountains in the south.

Picture Day Practice

Oh and I got a haircut.

Park

While Rose was at Activity Day Girls, I took the rest of the kids to the park.

Then the dark clouds rolled in and the afternoon thunderstorm boomed, so we went home.

Virginia City

We had all five kids together this weekend so we decided to go to Virginia City on Saturday and see the sites.

We broke these rascals out of jail.

Funny pictures:

Emma and Gabriel 

Rose and Ephraim 

Me and Elijah

We saw a Christmas shop with a "bah humbug" bench. Grandpa Fogelberg and Elijah pose for us. 

Buddies

Elijah and Ephraim watching tv together. Elijah is frowning because he knows I'm capturing the moment.

Zelda and Emma take an afternoon nap.

Elijah and Zelda are on neighborhood watch.

I caught Ephraim reading to Elijah late at night (reading by light of the bathroom).

Playing with trains together 

Day at Lake Tahoe

We had all five kids together this past weekend so James had the awesome idea to go to Lake Tahoe. He knew the perfect beach with close parking. It's great knowing someone with this knowledge! 

Family photo before we left (munching cookies). We started packing up after the second thunder boomed and the dark clouds rolled in.

Being buried in the sand was the activity of choice, especially for these skinny kids to warm up.
