Happy Fourth of July

My brother, Michael, and his wife, Ashli, came up to visit over the Fourth of July. We started the vacation by going to Sand Harbor. We swam and went kayaking. It was so much fun and relaxing.

Michael would push Parker around in the Kayak and bug the ducks. They followed those two ducks around the cove. It was pretty funny.


On Friday, my parents joined us and we headed to Virginia City. We rode the train and trolley, went down a mine and shopped around the little shops.





On the Fourth of July went to the Train Museum in the morning and rode on the Steam Engine. It's only pulled out 2 times a year.





After the Train Museum, we had a BBQ and then headed down to Nevada Beach to watch the fireworks.


The wind was a little chilly so we set up our umbrellas to block the wind. It worked perfectly!
The Fireworks were beautiful! It was so pretty to see the reflection in the lake.

Your pictures sure tell the story of our trip. Thanks for the great time. Your family is so cute. I am sure glad we went to the Lake for the fireworks. The refections were amazing. The ride back to your home wasn't as bad as we thought, the traffic moved right a long!!
