Lake Tahoe

The girls are mountain climbers!!
The last night we went to Reno.. Circus Circus.. The girls had a blast.. and so did Todd and I.. Circus Circus has their second floor just for kids.. That is why we went.. We needed to find somthing the girls would really be able to enjoy.. run around and scream and have fun.. And it was.. They had carnival games all over.. Eva won 3 stuffed animals in the first 5 minutes we were there. then in the middle of the floor they have a mini circus circle (that is all I can think of to call it.) the lights go low and then an announcer comes on and announced the next act.. we saw a trapeez lady do a show.. Then the best was the "Chinese Bike Acrobats" that is how they were introduced and I was thinking .. what on earth are theses six girls going to do on bikes.... and WOW they blew all our socks off.. It was awesome to watch.. They were doing all kinds of tricks.. the best one was one girl jumping from one shoulder to the next while in motion.. on two different bikes.. and doing a complete flip in the middle.. she missed the first time.. but thank god landed on her feet.. She made it the second and third time.. We only got to spend a few hours in Reno.. We should have spent the entire day! We drove down the stripe as we were leaving and saw all this cool stuff we would have liked to do.. They even had an outside iceskating rink. Maybe next time.

Todd is "KING of the Truck!"
Packing up to go home!! We had a 15 hour dive ahead of us.. And we made it all the way home to Lafayette that night!!
On our way out we stopped on the road and had to take a picture of the "forever" burning tourch.

Squaw Valley! Our family vacation home growing up was there. My grandfather built it for the 1960 Olympics. Sigh. I loved that house!
