Reno Shopping Spree!!

Two of my favorite women came to see me this weekend. . . . . and let me tell you, we had such a fun time!! They drove all the way out here (complaining the whole way because of the distance) to see me and I'm so thankful they came! They wanted to do a "little" shopping so we got a hotel room in Reno so we didn't loose time traveling back & forth from Lovelock.:)

What happens when you get three shop-a-holics together for a shopping spree??

Very little sitting room in the car!!:)

The shopping got a little out of hand! We even woke up at 4:30 AM Saturday morning so we could check-out the door busters at the huge JCPenny sale.:) With Christmas being right around the corner I hate to admit that there are only about 5 Christmas gifts among these bags. Oops!;)

Did I tell you we did a "little" shopping??

* * *

I like shoes just like any other girl but both my mom and Judy are suckers for shoes (each owning at least 60-70 pairs) so you can imagine how many pairs of shoes were tried on over the weekend!

Boots anyone?? We ended up with two pairs each.:)

* * *

The weekend went by too fast! Time flies when you're having fun huh?! Thank you mom and Judy for coming to see me! I miss you guys already!

Halloween...."Way Back When"

Here in Nevada October 31st is a state holiday because ironically, the state was founded on Halloween. Go figure!:) So Bryce had the day off and we decided to leave the trick-or-treaters behind and go do some sight seeing in Virginia City, Nevada.

* * *

Just a little history for you: Virginia City was the reason Nevada became a state! In the late 1800's it was the richest town in the west and bigger than San Fransisco. You'd never believe it now though! It was like stepping back in time and Bryce and I had fun being a tourist for the day.:)

We had to stop by "The Way it Was" museum and learn about the history of this little town.


There were tons of "old time" stuff in there. I spent about 1/2 an hour looking at the old medical supplies and medicine they used to use. Of course that's where you'd find the nurse.:)

There was also a short video in this little "theater" room. Can you tell how exciting it was by the look on our faces??

Now, this is how Bryce really felt about the video.:)

P.S. That's not a beer in Bryce's hand, it's an energy drink.:)

We were being so rowdy that they threw us both in jail.:)

And NO Bryce is not drunk in this picture from his energy drink.:)

Just a little stop at the Jerky Co. - -

- - and the candy shop. Yummy!

Seriously, look at all the candy! Bryce and I were in this shop forever but there were too many choices so we left with nothing.:)

I told you we had stepped back in time.

* * *

After leaving Virginia City and coming back into the "present time" we decided that Halloween just wouldn't be complete without watching a scary movie. So we purchased a couple classics at Target and stopped by 7-11 for a slurpie (because what movie night would be complete without a banana slurpie)?. . . . . .

Not only did we get slurpie's at 7-11 but the cashier was handing out glow-sticks!!!

What a perfect Halloween night!! :0)

CaLiForNiA PuMKiN PatCh- -

Seriously, who would drive 3 hours into another state just to go to a Pumpkin Patch and enjoy the fall festivities??. . . . . .

Well, I did!:)

* * *

About a month ago my friend Christelle asked me if I'd like to take a day trip to California to go to Bishop's Pumpkin Patch and afterwards go shopping at a huge mall not too far outside Sacramento. I'm always up for fun trips and shopping of course so I said "absolutely"!

So last Thursday we headed to Reno to stay with Christelle's in-laws and wake up early the next morning to head to Cali. They do this little trip every year with just the ladies and kiddos. I love to go and see places I've never seen before so I just soaked it all in. The drive to California was beautiful!

* * *

It was a day full of windy fun! You'll notice in all the pictures everyone's hair is blowing around like crazy. We were covered in dirt by the time we left which made for a very "grungy" trip to the mall.:) We still had tons of fun though!

* * *

Christelle's cute little kids Olivia & Henry became quite fond of me during this trip. I seem to be a kid magnet sometimes but I know that it's just because I act more like them than an adult.:)

Point made!;) Christelle and I had to see how tall we are this fall.
* * *
Too bad we couldn't lock them in there.:)
Of course we had to take the traditional train ride to tour all of Bishop's Pumpkin Patch.

And one of the funnest activities was the petting zoo! It was awesome! They had a pregnant pig that was enormous, various other farm animals and my favorite. . . . . . the baby goats!
My family will laugh when they see that I took pictures of the goats and I'm sure they'll have fun teasing me. They know I love goats and it all stems from when I was about 5 or 6 years old, my grandpa had a whole bunch of goats and I used to just play in their cage with them for hours on end. I'd ride the bigger ones and feed bottles to the babies.:) I just loved those goats and so my family nicknamed me "goat girl" because I always smelled so lovely when I'd come home from playin' with the goats.:)
And last but not least we had to pick out our own pumpkins! It's crazy to me how huge some of them get! All the kids wanted me to help them pick their pumpkins so I ended up not getting one myself. What can I say, I'm a kid magnet.:)
* * *
What a fun day trip to California! Thanks to Christelle for inviting me.:)
