The Drive:
We left Thursday afternoon from Reno. Much to our dismay, there was an accident on the freeway outside of Reno. We made it to Fernley 2 1/2 hours later - usually this drive takes 30 minutes. Thank goodness I packed the girls their own backpack full of books, color books, crayons, doll, doll accessories, sunglasses, Magna Doodle, and anything else I thought would hold their attention for a few minutes. I packed the DVD player with a wide selection of movies. I
packed food - mostly good for my sake, but a few sweet treats as well. The drive was rather fun. The girls were very well behaved. The car, on the other hand, at least the back seat, was a war zone. But!!! We were happy girls and were looking forward to our visit with Grammy and Papa!The Visit:
Breakfast, baths, trampoline, cold one, bike rides, four-wheeler rides, trips to the store for candy, trampoline, bike rides, four-wheeler rides, park adventure, sidewalk chalk, lunch, bike rides,
puddle jumping, rain, Barbie Dolls, trampoline, throwing rocks at the Oakley Dam, fly-swatting in the pool, rain, dinner, bedtime, out of bed, bedtime, out of bed, bedtime, out of bed, bedtime!! This was the schedule for the weekend. It was fun! There were several highlights:
Grammy & Papa - They are wonderful. Papa took the girls on a four-wheeler ride, we drove to the ranch and the dam with him. Grammy attended to the our every need, wonderful meals, walks, bike
rides, park trips, reading books. We love Grammy and Papa!Aunt Stephanie- She was a trooper! Taking the girls on bike rides, four-wheeler rides, feeding them Pop Rocks Candy, taking them on walks during Sacrament Meeting - she did it all. The girls loved it and so did I!
Golf - Stephanie and I played a little golf in the backyard. I needed the practice and Stephanie needed the good laugh!
Thanks Grammy and Papa for the wonderful weekend. We can't wait to visit
again! We love you!

Looks like you all had an enjoyable time in Oakley. Glad to hear what your time there consisted of. Can't wait to see you all!!
Dear Anne, Dad and I enjoyed reliving your trip home. We were both smiling as we read your remembrances. The pics are darling. Give the girls hugs and kisses. Looking forward to the next time. Love,M and D
I, too, thoroughly enjoyed hearing about your enjoyable time in Oakley, Oakley! I am, however, disappointed that I can't seem to get a hold of you today. Perhaps you're sleeping in?! If that is the case, I would never want to wake you up from your "slumber." NOT! - Enjoy those beautiful girls! You're a great mom! Skinny, too!!!
