Fourth of July Weekend

We decided to get out of the heat and visit some friends that recently moved away to Carson City. We left at 4am on Friday morning to make the long drive, but surprisingly the kids did better than anticipated. We stopped in Hawthorne, Nevada so the kids could play at the park in pajamas no less. Then back on the road, our GPS even had us go on thhis gravelly dirt road for 13 miles, urghhh! Anyway we arrived safely and had a blast with our great friends Emily and Dave and their kids Delaney and Elliot. The kids played so well together and I could tell they were happy to see Delaney. We went to a fair, played at their house and went to the beach at Lake Tahoe a couple times. I think they want to move to the beach. It was a wonderful weekend despite the fact that sleeping was well----rough especially for Matty- whom may have only gotten in a total of 9 hours his whole two night hotel stay..... Well we are back in Vegas and already wish we could back to visit them....but can't we just zap ourselves there?
