Day One on the Road

After turning back for home because we forgot something (twice), then getting 'second lunch' in Scotts Valley, we were finally on the road at 3pm. 

We made it up to Truckee in record time (for us), and were pulling up to 'The Cabin' just before 8pm.  Kids did great, Bob and Robby took snoozes, and only one bathroom stop needed. 

Robby kept busy with drumming to the music, looking at "I Can Read with My Eyes Shut", and listening to two fairy tales from the book Nine Unlikely Tales for Children, by E. Nesbit .

Hannah spent at least two hours working on dot-to-dots. 

Yes, the 11 year old. 

Down at Kaleidoscope, in Capitola, we came across these great dot to dot books for older kids and adults. As a surprise I ordered one, and slipped it in her backpack before we left. There are several, but the one Hannah has is Legends and Lore.

They are amazing.

One that she did had over 1400 dots!

Just looking at a page with all those numbered dots makes me cross-eyed.

But then again, I'm no longer 11.





Disclosure: If you buy anything from Amazon through a link from this blog, a few pennies will come trickling down to the Nash family. 

Ruh roh, Raggy! Snack time.

Cookies and milk.

What more could a boy want for a snack. ;)

First Stop

Hannah here -
Well, first stop is Truckee, CA, because our grandparents are staying there. I'm really excited about being able to go in the pool one last time there this year (or maybe twice, I don't know).
I haven't seen my Gramma and Pappy for awhile, because they've been at Truckee.

Normally we would go to their house every other day or so, and I would grab the newspaper, and bring it inside, then read the comics.

Then I would grab a container and head out to the front yard and pick the blueberries, eating half of them (shhhh!), and bring the ones that were left inside, sticking them in the freezer, if I remembered to.
Then I would grab another container...

well, I won't bore you with details. 

Oh, wait.

I did. 

Nevermind.

Anyway, were leaving in a few days, and if Mom approves of this, then it will get posted.
Therefore, you are reading this, then that means she approved.
If you aren't reading this, then she didn't.
