Breakfast With Claire & A Daycare Birthday Party

This morning Grace and Dad had breakfast with Claire and her parents.   We suggested Hash House A GoGo because it is always good fun.   Claire is really great to Grace we think that Claire is role-model material for Grace.   Hopefully these two will have more time together in the future.  After breakfast Claire headed to her home in the SF bay area and Grace went to Daycare.

When dad went to pick Grace up at Daycare they were staging for teacher Katelyn’s birthday party!!  So we stuck around for cupcakes and to sing Happy Birthday.    Eventually we made our way home.

Gerlach with the White Family

…….Grace never misses an excuse to go to Gerlach.   This time Claire (and her parents) were coming back through Reno -and we decided to meet out in Gerlach to play.   It was great fun.   On the way home we stopped at Pyramid Lake to round out the day.   Thanks for all of the fun Claire -you truly are our favorite.

Once home, Grace immediately took a needed bath 🙂

Claire Passes Through Reno

Jerry White and his family were on their way to Montana for the GBU Rally.   We all had a picnic and it was some great fun.   Jerry first met Grace two years ago in Gerlach for the 2009 IBR.  Grace was just at tiny baby back then.

It was great to see Jerry and his wife Sally.   But the real thrill was getting to know Claire.   Claire is 11years old and an awesome person -and we certainly hope that Grace and Claire get to spend time together in the future.

Thank you Claire -you really are the best and we hope we get to see more of you.

Trains, Trains and More Trains

This was a full day of trains.   First Virginia City, then Carson City.

Grace has a strong fascination with trains.  Very Strong!   We don’t know why.

So Grace and Dad headed for Virginia City where we rode the small train.  It was good touristy fun.  Then to a very funky but fun lunch in Gold Hill  …And then down the backside of the hill to Carson City and the Railroad Museum.

*Note the Virginia City pictures Grace is wearing the white hat, In Carson City The Pink Hat

There are some great pictures so be sure to check them out.

The video is very long (almost 20minutes) but those who know Grace will laugh at how instead of attacking the trains like a crazy two-year-old, -instead she studies the trains like a curious scientist.  The funniest part to dad is during the touristy lecture during the 2nd train ride  -Grace nods during the talk as if to validate the points being made by the tour guide.   She is truly a wacky kid!
