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!

Oregon Trip –>Review
Here are many of the pictures of the Oregon Trip -as well as a couple of videos.
It was a great trip. 4nights away, 2 nights right on the beach in Brookings. Spent a lot of time in the water and built fires on the beach and stayed up late! We also got a tour of the Coast Guard facility!
Fun Times on the beach:

Some of the best fun on our road tips is listening to Grace sing and she has an interesting taste in music!

Tour de Nez -Downtown Reno
Grace and Dad spent the day downtown -moslty to check out the Tour de Nez bicycle race. Grace is just learning to ride a bike so it seemed like a good idea. What fun we had!
This video is long but has some good segments.
The most fun: Note when Grace is racing, her race goes about 75 yards (note the big start finish banner above the road). However Grace and a few boys don’t realize the race is over and keep going, …and going, ….and going.
**Note: She crosses the finish line at the 6:27 mark in the video ……but notice that’s not when she stops.
Dad got a workout attempting to keep up. Grace loved this, it was her first race. She wants to go again tomorrow. 🙂
Enjoy and root for #775 🙂

Fire
Grace and Dad went downtown to see some “Fire” tonight….
Pretty cool stuff. Grace liked it, but wanted to walk around and see the sites (people) more than watch the fire shows.

Evening in the park
Grace was very timid on the bike this evening …and a bit tired, but while body and bike may have been slower than usual, her mouth was at normal speed 🙂

There’s a bubble machine at the ice cream shop in Ciara’s town. Grace likes to go and “fight” the bubbles! Sent from my iPhone
