Summer Trip

Ok back to blogging!!! Every time I sit down to do this something comes up. To be honest I am being held hostage by these two adorable little bandits who rarely let me use the computer!!

Lots to catch up on but for today I will share pictures from our trip to Sonora/Tahoe.

We took a 12 day road trip in our swagger wagon to see our folks and some siblings. It was such a busy trip we never even made it to Sacramento, which is such a bummer because we have many friends there we love. Those grandparents are greedy though and took up all of our time ;)!

Our drive was great and we totally cheated by getting Henry a movie player which was great! Reese was an angel and we really only had limited times of chaos, though I did go from the front seat to the back maybe a million times!

When we got to Sonora we had so much fun! Henry was in 7th heaven! Probably because my parents had made it into his own personal wonderland. They made him a fire pole and a construction site! Henry played from the second we got out of the car until we left. He spent a good portion of his time either playing on the Papa made fire pole (until he got blisters) or inside "cooking" and singing with Titi. It was magical! Here's proof:

Reese bounced her little heart out and enjoyed all of the attention she got! Auntie Tink, Uncle David and Eva came too and it was so nice to be together with everyone. Eva is all over the place an into everything and she is just the sweetest little thing! She loved Reese and kept snuggling up to her any chance she got! She also rang the fire bell for Henry which he loved! We adluts had a great time too! We relaxed, played scrabble, went to the lake, out to eat and had a yummy wine dinner made by the Rumbaughs!!

SO MANY GREAT PICTURES WERE TAKEN by the Rumbaugh's!!! I uploaded them all to our picture site :)

We then packed up once again and headed to Lake Tahoe to spend time with Nana, Auntie Anna and Lucy. We had a great house with a wonderful backyard and view of Heavenly. I had lost our camera for the first couple of days and it killed me. I missed so many wonderful pictures like the hand in hand shot of Henry and Nana walking to take a ride on the gondola together. They had a great time and we even went a second time the next day! Henry spent his time playing fireman with Nana either in the car or on the stairs and going in the hot tub which we made a warm tub so all could swim. Nana showed us what patience looks like! Reese and Lucy who only have a 4 month difference had a great time doing what babies do best, just hanging out and smiling! Lucy is so sweet and we had fun playing with her and her Mommy! We did so many fun things and had some great BBQ's in the yard. It really was great!

On our way back home we stopped in Reno and saw The Ferro's. Ben and Mike are getting so big and we introduced them all to Reese. The boys are absolutely wonderful to Henry and had him occupied the entire time while my brother and Lisa held Reese. They even had a Jeep for the kids to drive which made Henry's day!

We survived and had a great trip! We actually hope to do it again soon!
