Reno Trip

Thanks to KOVR "The Sports Show" where we won a two night stay, with breakfast and dinner, at the Atlantis in Reno... we headed up there so Nana, Ms. Barbara, and Daddy could try to win a new home, new car, or new something. No big wins but we all had lots of fun!!

So our first stop was to the pool. It was so nice because they have an outdoor and an indoor pool with a spa.

After a morning swim, we headed to Circus Circus for our second round (we went the night before but our camera was charging). Nana and Ms. Barbara tried to win money while we won lots of stuffed animals. Mikayla actually won three prizes on her own. Very competitive child - I have no idea where she gets that from!!!
All that competitiveness exhausted her (the flower was one of the prizes they won). Mikayla and Delilah took a quick nap.
Then we woke up and headed to mommy's cousins house. Cousin Ron lives in a beautiful ranch area on the outskirts of Reno. We finally got to meet his wife, Mindy, and their beautiful daughter, Michaela. The girls loved playing with her toys! In the picture below is Mindy and Michaela.
Cousin Ron holds Delilah as she feeds one of their three beautiful horses. This horse was named Cocoa Lena.
Here is Mikayla feeding Cocoa Lena too. We enjoyed seeing the entire family and all their horses. It is sad that we live only 2 hours away and this was the first time - but now they are in for trouble because we will probably bug them a lot more. :-)

We finally let Cousin Ron and Mindy get Michaela down for bed and headed to Boomtown for dinner. Unfortunately for Daddy, we got there too late for the buffet so we ate at the coffee shop. In this picture, Delilah is thanking Nana tremendously for the french fries!!

Today, once we woke up and packed our stuff up, we headed back to Boomtown because they have a huge family fun center that the girls wanted to go to. The first stop was to the carousel. We even got Ms. Barbara on a horse! :-)

Next was the Wagon Ferris Wheel... And then our little thrill seeker did a bouncing rodeo ride which was like a bungee jump for little kids. She had so much fun that she took Mikayla's ticket and rode on it twice!!

After a few more games and rides, we headed outside to take a look at the water wheel before we headed back home.

They fell asleep within 10 minutes of getting on the road.

They truly had fun but they were excited to get home.
