Poor Uncle Preston got dog piled!!
Aunt Devin let the boys pick some veggies from her garden.
Branson has been liking Gecko from PJ Masks lately.
These boys swung on the swings for the longest time!

A Day at Lake Tahoe
We tried to get up to a beach called Sand Harbor, but they only let a certain number of cars in the lot by a certain time and we missed the window so instead we headed farther up the mountain to the Donnor State Park and Museum and Donnor Lake.
We loved Donnor Lake and all agreed that it is a bit of a hidden gem!
The Donnor Museum - I've always been interested in the tragic history of the Donnor Party so I really wanted to go to the museum. Luckily everyone indulged me and I think had a good time!
You know I love little ice cream shops. We found this one (Susie Scoops) in Incline Village. Yummm!
Letting the boys roam while we waited for the lot to Sand Harbor to open up.
The boys LOVED the kayak Uncle Preston brought!
I enjoyed it too :)

Virginia City
On the way out of town we took a little detour to Virginia City - a 19th century mining town that started after the discovery of the Comstock Lode, the first major silver mine in the U.S. (I love anything western themed and in fact have read Louis L'Amour's book called The Comstock Lode!). Justin was sweet to let me go check it out 💙
The first store we went to we were looking around and in walked these two guys in period dress, one of whom looked exactly like Virgil Earp from Tombstone!
Mark Twain worked for the local newspaper and set his novel Roughing It in Virginia City!
Uncle Preston has done some work at the courthouse in Virginia City (which is apparently haunted!) #eek
The boys were acting like there is a baby in their tummy just like mommy :) Then they'd said the baby "popped out" and suck it in haha.
The drive was long, but so worth it to see our cousins! We love Preston and Devin and their cute family so much!
