We left Redding and had a long drive over Bonner Pass to Nevada. We decided to get ready for our babysitting, here in Sparks. We stayed in Verdi for 2 nites. We need to stop driving every once in a while. Then on to Sparks and our son and daughter-in-law's house.
We got a wonderful greeting from our kids and our grandkids. We came to watch the kids so our son, David, could surprise his wife, Heather, for their 15th anniversary. He had told her he had planned a weekend holiday for her at Lake Tahoe, but would give her no details. So of course she was very excited, but confused. It turns out his plans were really to take her to Chicago for the weekend. She had no idea. Autumn and Amber, almost 9 and almost 6, both knew of the plans and never let on. Heather was totally surprised when she was awakened at 3am on Friday and when Duane got into the car with them. That was her first idea that she was not going to Lake Tahoe. (Duane went to the airport with them to bring back their car)
We are enjoying ourselves very much being grandchildren toys. The kids seem to enjoy having us to play with, too. Tomorrow, Sunday, is when the "parents" are coming home. Our plan is to find the house before they get back.
So to bed.

Your pictures are awesome - some look professional quality and would make a great calendar. I really want to go to some of the places you're visiting - in Oregon and Wash, more so than when you traveled internationally. If you don't get to see this earlier, HAPPY BIRTHDAY to DUANE!
Love, Deb and Dan
Yea for surprises!!!!
I'm glad you were able to babysit to allow David and Heather to get away! I heard they had a blast!
Love you guys!
