Katy and Margaret went to visit their grandparents in Mississippi for a week. While they were gone Elizabeth cleaned up and re-made Katy’s room. The big thing was finally making a built in bed that she originally designed when we built the house.
I took a quick business trip to Connecticut. I spent the first night in Manhattan and walked around just a bit. Took a few pictures of Times Square. Also had a chance to visit with Elizabeth’s Uncle John in Essex. It was a good trip for one that I didn’t want to go on.
The last time we went to REI, the rock wall was open and Katy and Margaret got to try it again. Katy scampered up to the top 2 times in less than 1 minute. Margaret did well as well. Each time she tried, she went a little higher.
When we used to have money, we donated some to the UC Davis Vet School to help them build the Toby Room. They had the dedication just the other day. It was pretty much long and boring, but it was good to see the Toby Room come to be. We had some fun in Davis as well with my parents and Elizabeth’s mom showed up for the ceremony as well.
My parents were at a Vietnam Helicopter Pilot’s Association meeting in Reno, so we went and visited them. We ended up at the Discovery Park in Reno. There was panning for gold, pony rides, a log ride, and more. We also spent a few days in Tahoe as well. While in Tahoe, we went to the annual homeowner’s association meeting, as well as Commons Beach and Meek’s Bay of course.Reno pictures are here, Tahoe pictures are here.
Another bike parade on Elizabeth’s parent’s street. This year the kids (and adults) were too sleepy to go see any fireworks. Check out the video of the Simon says game.
