A stop at Walker River and Then Home.

We have developed a route back from my parent's house which includes a stop at Walker River. Walker River runs from Bridgeport, CA to Walker, CA along the 395. It is beautiful covered in snow and beautiful in the spring when the river is really running.

Adam is trying to get to the other side, but the river didn't allow it.

I love this picture of Jens. He is so relaxed and just having fun.

Happy 70th Birthday Mom!!!

Happy 70th Birthday!!! You are the best mom ever. We went up to Dayton, Neveda to celebrate my mom's birthday. We were there on Friday to Tuesday. We had a fun day. We went to the Reno LDS Temple to seal some of our family members together forever. It was a wonderful experience. We went to see Julia and Julie for the birthday. Afterwards, we celebrated with my mom's favorite cake - Coconut cake.

You are still beautiful!

Most of the family was there to be with mom.

Bekki, Kelly and Ian were there.

The Road Trip Continues to Donner's Pass

We continue our road trip to the Donner Monument. This is where the Donner party was stuck on the mountain. I learned about the Donner Party in California History, so it was very exciting to see and learn more about the circumstances surrounding this time in history. I think everyone enjoyed this trip


The monument was huge. The monument was as high as the snow the year of the Donner Party's time on the mountain.

This path takes you down to see the places where various families had made an attempt at shelter. Adam looks like we might leave him here. If you get up around Lake Tahoe, be sure to stop and see the monument.

A side trip to Lake Tahoe

One of the days we were at Grandma and Grandpa's house, we headed for Lake Tahoe. We took a road trip. I love road trips. We just drove up above Tahoe. At one point we drove over road where there was Lake Tahoe on both sides. It was breathtaking. The water was so blue and the air smelled of pine. It was magical. We stopped at a vista point and took pictures.

I love this picture of my mom and Anna.

Having fun with Grandma

It is a handsome boy.

Along the way to Grandma's house

Wow, this is incredible. We took a side trip on the way to Grandma's house. We went to Dayton, Neveda via Yosemite. We went to see Bridal Veil Falls, and played in Yosemite Valley.

Near Bridal Veil Falls

Bridal Veil Falls

The light in the trees was amazing. They almost liked transparent.

Can you believe how big this tree is. Good thing Daddy helped.

The three amigos, together forever in Yosemite.

Yosemite, how beautiful you are.
