Our Memorial Day weekend fun!!!

We had a very eventful weekend full of A LOT of traveling. On Friday we drove up to Loomis to my mom and dad's house to meet up with everyone. While we were there, Ryan got to go with Papa in his "big truck" to pick out some new baby chicks. He was VERY excited to show them off to everyone!

On Saturday we then drove up to the cabin for the weekend. We had a great time playing games...and just being goofy!!!On Sunday we took a drive to BEAUTIFUL Lake Tahoe!
We found a table at Sugar Pine Point and had a picnic...
took some pictures of the beautiful scenery (and of course my cute little family)...
and went for a walk down the beach and along the dock!
On Monday, Justin, the boys and I went with Steve and Ashley to Reno for the day. We first headed to check out the Sierra Trading Post Outlet. We're trying to get everything we need for our big hike into Havasu Falls in the Grand Canyon this summer. We found a great deal on a two person backpacking tent, but we had to pitch it in the store to make sure there were no defects, since it was a clearance item and all.It was so funny! They cleared a spot for us and Steve and Justin had this thing up in 3 minutes flat, now that's my kind of tent! There were no defects either, so we're now set with a tent for our trip. Next we headed to Scheel's, which is the biggest sporting goods store I have ever seen! They literally have a section for nearly every sport. It felt like we were in a mall!
Ryan thought his "huge airplane" was the coolest thing ever! He kept asking how we could "get inside of it."
They had a ferris wheel in the center of the store, which Ryan just had to ride. And of course the fishies! They had a huge fresh water tank that was an arch way to walk under, as well as a salt water tank. They were really neat!We ended up home late on Monday and were exhausted, but really enjoyed our long weekend! I think we spent more time with Daddy this weekend than we have the whole month. He's been very busy with scouts, a master's thesis (one week to go), and work. We love you Daddy and we hope everyone else enjoyed their Holiday weekend as well!
