A great job tonight!
Gymnastics
Tinley reading to the class.
Duck Races ….and such
A decent night’s sleep and then french toast again. Then downtown to the Duck Race festivities. We wanted to get there early to avoid the crowds and heat, even though that would mean missing the actual race.
Good fun with nice activities. Grace got a LOT of attention because she’s so polite and because we beat the masses of people. Saw SPCA volunteer Anne Simone who spotted Grace! Also a lot of people in town making their way to Burning Man. Grace has had a lot of invitations from groups heading to the playa.
Are you kidding me????
Grace and dad went out to dinner. No question grace was going to get a hamburger as that is what she always gets at this restaurant. But when it was time to order Grace blurted out: “Teddy Bear Pancake!”. Our waitress knodded and the deal was sealed. Crazy kid!! …And when the pancake arrived, Grace went right for the bacon.
Safety Day At Discovery Museum & More
Mom is still in SF, another great day with Dad. First wonderful french toast, then down to the Discovery Museum where they were having “Safety Day” Great stuff and Grace even got digital fingerprints done, digital picture, a dental imprint + more and they gave me a fancy identification certificate etc. Also got to see some fancy police and fire stuff. Oh and Grace had a nice 1-1 conversation with the fire chief and I told him that fires on the OR coast are OK.
Then over to the Nevada Museum Of Art, …then caught a city bus (Grace’s new-found fun thing to do) and we jumped out when we saw a puppy store. Now I’m taking a nap, we’ll see what the night brings!
Aces Game, Dinner and Smokey Air
Kathy is in San Francisco. Grace and Dad headed out to the Baseball came courtesy of Renown. Had dinner at one of our favorites: Hash House A Go-Go. HUGE burgers!
The air in Reno is very bad because of a forest fire near Yosemite. It’s so thick it burns your nose/throat and makes your eyes water. So dark streetlights and automobile headlights come out automatically mid-day.
Here are a few snapshots of our evening …including the smokey reno sky-line.
Nasty smokey air in Reno Tonight
Playground at the Aces game
Dinner at Hash House a Go-Go
You would not believe the size of our burgers. Grace’s is off the children’s menu. Pics don’t do justice to the size
Night on the town ..Grace+Dad
Mom is in San Francisco …Grace and dad heading to Aces baseball game. !!BUT!! The smoke from the Yosemite fire is really bad. Jeadimg to dinner ….check back for updates!
A Little Rain
One of the fun things about living in Reno is that you never know if a little rain/thunder storm might roll in. Today a 5% chance of rain (said the weatherman). While at Grace’s gymnastic lesson, the sky opened up and the water starting falling. It was LOUD in the gym. The rain was heavy all the way home. …Took video of the last bit of the commute down our neighborhood street. Not the heaviest rain of the commute but a safe place to take video. Kinda fun, grace wanted to play in it. Some good lightening too. Note: It was still daytime, but the clouds were so heavy it made it seem like night time. …and the rain kept up for hours!
V I D E O:
No swimming tonight
Grace is not thrilled, but no swimming tonight.
School tomorrow and lot of smoke in the air from the CA fires.
And, it’s been a full.day.
Final agenda tonight: Some reading, one show and lights out!
