Trip to Nevada and California

Instead of flying out to NV & CA for Christmas, we waited till Zane was born and took a trip to see our family and friends. We flew in on Tuesday to Reno, saw my parents briefly and then drove to Sacramento to see Josh's grandparents, aunts and uncles, and his dad was also there at the farm for the week. On Friday, my mom and dad came down and the kids and I went with them to see my Grandma Wigholm. We went to the Oakland Zoo and then to dinner at The Old Spaghetti Factory (absolutely delicious) for a early Mother's day celebration. We spent the night and then we went back to Josh's grandparents for a family get together. The rest of our time was spent in Reno with my family and also we were able to see some friends. We also went up to Tahoe one afternoon. I never tire of that place. It is absolutely beautiful, no matter what time of year you are there.

I always loved walking on this wall at my grandparents when I was little,
and Kylee discovered it was quite fun, too!

Wayne Comstock and Zane

We went and saw my mom's friend Carol while we were in Reno.
She really enjoyed seeing them.

There is a new sporting goods store in Reno called Scheels. It has a ferris wheel in the middle of it. Kylee and my dad enjoyed a ride on it.

Kyee waiding in the water at Lake Tahoe. It wasn't absolutely freezing, but wan't very warm either. She didn't seem to care though. By the time we left, she had her jacket off, too.
