Family Vaction Part 3

OK I know I'm really behind but I'm going to try to get all my post done for the year 2011. Part 3 for our vacations. Day 2 Ben went to see a work friend and drive around with him all day and see job sites so. Paige and I spent the day with Sabrina Lytle and her girls. Her ward had a play date planned to go to a pumpkin patch and spend the day. I do have to admit this was one thing on my list that I had to do while I was in Reno. They had fun little games for the kids to play and in the Barn they even had dress ups. 

Lucky us today was free Hay Rides! Paige was not sure if she wanted to go but she loved it in the end.

I love love it! Someone in Alamo should do this ever year!

Paige loving her ride it took some coaxing to get her to stand my her self at first.

I love that this family farm is just five mins from Sabrina house but it still looks like its in the country!

Paige and me on the Hay ride

They had emu's, a lama, pigs, and goats

Along with Cows and Horses oh and you cant for get the chickens sorry I didn't take photos of all of them.

Paige Trying to make Emma pet the horse.

 With our admission we got to pick out one small pumpkin for free so Paige got to go pick out one that she liked and pick it.

 Paige with she prize she was so excited about her pumpkin.

This photo I had to put in Sabina is on the left looking and the girl on the left is Sabrina's friend. Paige does not know her at all everyone started to walk away so paige just grabs her hand like she is her best friend and when Sabrina friend looks down to see who has her hand she has no idea who this kid is. That's why she is laughing. pretty funny because if you know my Paige she will not go to anyone she does not know. Sorry I have forgotten Sabrina's friend name so I have to keep on calling her that Ha ha will she later told me that all kids are like that with her even so much that they will poop at her house I thought that was so funny!

Last photo of the day Paige had a blast! Oh and so did I!

Family Vacation Part 2

When we went back to Sam and Tiff's house we had lunch and they left to go spend the weekend in Alamo. They left us their key and we had a nice furnished house for the weekend thanks again you guys so much! After we got up from our afternoon nap we decided to go to lake Tahoe and enjoy the water and and sand! It is only 20 mins from Carson City that  is shorter then my husbands drive to work everyday!

 Paige was so excited to go the the lake and play in the sand, but I forgot to pack our pool bag with all the toys so we had to borrow some of  Jason's sand toys. Thanks Jason.

 Paige posing for me love that girl :)

 This trip I have been playing with my new lens  I have been loving it hear is a shot of your foot prints in the sand. Paige Ben and me.

 The one bad thing of always taking the photo's you are never in them right but we did find with me new lens  we can take a photo with me in it witch I would not do with my old one. New Lens is a 17-55 mm  2.8 f tamron  this Len's is my new favorit Portraiture lens

 Another Strong Girl We loved this big rock it was a nice place to sit and enjoy the sunset.

Paige working it for the camera. 

While we are sitting we had wild duck land and walk right up to us looking for food Ben keep saying he had never seen duck do that before. Later when we got back home we found out you can take a steam fairy boat across the lake to see a castle I wish we could have done that but will just have to go back!   

 I love these Photo's I don't care if  anyone else does, but I love them! They might make there way into our house one day.

Paige was loving the ducks

This was a nice end to your day I wish I would have been in this photo to but I did't have room for my tripod and I forgot my minnie one I'll have to try to remember that one next time. We went back to Carson found a Smiths and went food shopping and went back to the town home and enjoyed our dinner.

Family Vaction Part 1

 We had a wounder full family vacation this year just by ourselves which does not happen a lot. Ben wanted to see the Reno/Carson area and go visit friends that live up their. Our first day we visited Sam and Tiffany Lytle they were so nice to let us stay with them last minuet.

Sam and took us to Mills Park that they lived by which was very nice. Paige and Jason had fun throwing rock in to the river. Also at this park that I didn't get a photo of was a peace of  bent metal from the World Trade Center in NY.

                        Sam had to keep moving Jason away form the water he was trying to get in it.

Paige and Daddy throwing rocks together. I love this cute little bridge with the river running under it so pretty

                                                            Paige working out at the park

We decided to take a tour of down town Carson City this is the Capital Building this photo would be a lot better if the flag pole's were not there but what can you do. I love old building we don't have this in Las Vegas every thing is new.

Paige was loving all the mom and dad attention she was getting and also that mom had her camera out all the time. She is such a ham working it for the camera.

Hear are a few photo's of the memorials that are next to the capital building

This is Abraham Van Santvoord Curry If you look at the Photo below it will tell you all about how he bought this land and built all the building knowing that some day Nevada would be a state and Carson City would be its capital. 

This is the Nevada State Veteran's Memorial

This tree is behind the Capital Building Ben and I think they are Crab Apple tree's but not sure I love the color's.

This is the Back side of the Capital Building next to the parking lot where all of our governor and state's man park. I thought this was fun to see I don't know way but I did. 

After this we walked down to the children's museum which I'm sad to say was not that fun except this really cool augment board game. I wish we would have spent our money on another museum.
