Mena and Miguel got in about 5:30 Thursday afternoon from D.C. - about 5.5 hours later than scheduled because of flight delays. When they finally got in, we had to go straight to my softball game, but they were troopers about it - even after such a long day! We had quite the busy weekend, so here is the condensed version: Friday morning we got up and headed to Quincy for my sister's high school reunion. We decorated in the afternoon and the party started about 6 p.m. My friend Ashlie came to help me work the door, and toward the end of the reunion, Chris, Lindsey, and some friends of
Mena & Miguel's from the Bay Area arrived downtown to hang out with us. Saturday, Lindsey and I watched the
Plumas County Fair Parade in the morning, and in the afternoon Chris and I joined the reunion family picnic. Chris had to head back to Reno that afternoon to work. We went to the fair in the evening. Sunday morning there was no cell phone reception in town for several hours - no
internet, credit cards, nothing. It was pretty funny how all us city folk didn't know what to do! But despite being unable to call each other, Lindsey and I managed to meet up to visit Mary Anne and Amy (mother and daughter - Mary Anne was our boss at the school district and Amy was our cheer coach and they are great!). Later,
Mena, Miguel and I took a dip in the river at Oakland Camp and then Mom made us a delicious dinner. Monday morning we headed back to Reno, and stopped in Virginia City for a while in the afternoon on our way to visit our cousin Tanya in Dayton. Tuesday we spent a few hours at Lake Tahoe before taking in an Aces game and taking
Mena and Miguel for an Awful Awful before they left town early this morning. Here are just a few pictures from their trip (
