Reno!!!

For President's weekend this year we did a big family vacation to Reno.  It was so fun! Our whole family went Nana, Papa, Titi, Gaga, Aunt Pat, Aunt Shelly and the four of us! It was a blast!! Our family of four went to Sacramento on Friday 2/16 and stayed at the aunts house that night.  Saturday 2/17 we all drove up to Reno and met up with our other half of the family.  We stayed at Circus Circus.  After checking in we went straight to the midway and had so much fun playing all the games and winning so many stuffed animals.  Gaga and dad are the best at all the carnival games!  

 It was a lot of fun getting to have some quality time with my siblings.

 We all watched the circus together 

 For dinner that night we went to the seafood buffet.  There was so much food! It was pretty expensive and the quality wasn't the best but we had fun being all together and laughing at the people that act likes it's there last meal and stack their plates a mile high.  The amount of crab legs were ridiculous! 

 Sunday 2/18 Spencer and I got to work out in the morning then we all met up for brunch.  After that we went to the automotive museum which was super cool and huge!! There was so much to see.  

The kids really enjoyed all the space areas and hands on stuff.

 The car collection was insane! So many cars from all eras.

 This particular car was in the movie Titanic.  It's the car that drops them off at the dock before they get on the ship.

 They had a fun area to dress up.  I love this picture of Papa and Aubrey.

 Carter looked so cute but kind of short for the jacket...

 So we gave him some longer legs...

 We have the funnest video of him dancing around.

 It was a really cool museum and so fun to all go together.

 On our way back to the hotel it started to snow which was pretty exciting.  We went and played a couple more games just the four of us.

 and then out to yogurt.

 On our way up to the room it was really snowing so we stepped outside to catch some snow.

 We went to the room and hung out and got ready for the evening.  We had a big night planned for the whole family!

First up dinner at Red Robins...

 It was really starting to snow like crazy on our way out.

 After dinner we were off to a magic show.  I found it on-line and it was so much fun.  There were two magicians and they were funny and great.  It was a kid friendly show and we all had a blast!

 Spencer always gets picked to go up on stage!

 Gaga also got picked...

 After the show we went over to our very first Escape Room.  It was awesome! Our mission was to find our uncles lost inheritance.  There were so many fun riddles and puzzles that we had to solve.  It was such a fun thing to do as a group.  The kids thought it was the coolest thing ever!

 Yay we found it!!!

 and we escaped!

 It was a packed full day of fun! 

Monday 2/19 we had to pack up and say good bye.

The kids and dad went and spent the last few dollars on their cards and sure enough won the biggest stuffed animals they had their eyes on the entire weekend! How lucky is that?!?!

 We took the aunts back to Sacramento on our way home.  We were glad we got off the mountain this year but it still took us 7 hours!! We might need to plan a different weekend next year! It was well worth it we all had a blast!

 We stopped for lunch and poor Aubrey's ears were popping so she doesn't look so happy.

We finally made it back to Merced around 6 that night.  It felt good to be home and cuddling our Deucie! He spent the weekend at the pet hotel.  It was a great family vacation and we can't wait to plan our next one!!
