We made it back to Nevada
What a great trip we had!!
Thanks to Bob and Shirley for letting us invade their home for 5 days it was like a home away from home.
Thank you Janell and Randy for the wonderful day at the farm and great food.
Thank you Sue for the great dinner and hospitality on our way to South Dakota.
The kids held up very well for all the traveling and sight seeing.
Mt. Rushmore was hot and breathtaking and really neat.
Crazy Horse was awesome Skyler commented "They won't even have it finished before he dies at the rate they are going" We will have to check the progress in a couple years.
Special thanks to Myrna for following in an extra vehicle I beleive it saved a life or two.
I will get pictures uploaded as soon as I can.
We all enjoyed the experience and can't wait to do it again.

Busy Day!!
Today we got up for "Dawn Patrol" (early morning to see hot air balloons take flight.)It is Reno's Balloon Race weekend. This is rapidly becoming a family tradition. We were a little late getting started today but quickly found a parking spot and headed to Rancho San Rafael park to check out the mass launch of about 50 to 75 balloons. Grandma is usually with us but this year Nanna came and hopefully next year they can both come. The kids really enjoy watching all the balloons take off it is quite spectacular.(photos to come)
Then it was off to breakfast at PJ's a great place for breakfast.
We will be off in a couple hours to spend the day at Wild Waters a water park in Sparks.
Right now I am going to get some rest. More about our busy day later.

Kindergarten Graduate!
Today my son Skyler graduated from Kindergarten.I attended the event along with all the other parents.The children entered the cafeteria and lined up on the steps of the stage. They sang a couple of songs then were seated on the floor.
The teacher Miss Pollack said some kind words to the parents about their involvement with our children and how important it was to continue to read to and with our children.
I can't tell you how proud I am of my son.I even got a little choked up when he was the first one to be called to receive his"diploma".Just imagine what I'm gonna be like when he graduates high school.
My wife Robin was there with her 5th grade class.(She teaches at the same school)
She was very proud also and after the ceremony she had to take her class back to her classroom for end of the year festivities.
Skyler and I had a snack and some juice then I took him to Robin's class so he could finish out the day.
Driving back to work it dawned on me that I was the proud father of a "First Grader".
Robin and Skyler don't get much of a summer break they start their new school year on July 7th.
(Year round school)
They both switched to Blue track so we could attend next years Gatewood Family Reunion.
I myself can't wait because that would mean I would be the proud father of a Second grader and a Kindergartener.(Shae hits the school scene next year LOOK OUT!! Kindergarten will never be the same)
