For Thanksgiving the girls and I spent 10 days in Winnemucca. Winnemucca hasn't changed much in the last 10 years. There are a few new homes and stores but not much. We stayed with my Grandparents and had Thanksgiving dinner at my Uncle James and Aunt Linda's house. It was one of the funniest vacations that I've been on. I really didn't want to come home.
Because I didn't know what the weather would be like and I don't trust my car to make it out there, we took the train. The girls thought that was the best!! I loved it because I didn't have to drive, we could get up and walk around and we didn't have to make any potty stops. We spent most of our the ride in the lounge car. There were booths with tables so the girls could color, eat and we set up my laptop so they could watch movies.
Once in Nevada we were busy. We went horseback riding, bowling and even went to Reno one day. I didn't get a chance to go see everyone that I wanted too. I guess I will need to make more trips out there.
I was glad to get to see Uncle James. (He is my Dad's brother and has brain cancer.) He was very weak and not able to walk anymore. A couple of times he was able to be in his wheelchair and come eat dinner with us. But even being in the wheelchair tires him out. One day I was at their house he was too tired to even talk. I was glad to be able to visit with him on the days he was up to it.
Megan and Lindsey were spoiled by my Grandpa and my cousins Jamie, Tiffany and Holly. Megan decided that she wants to move to Winnemucca instead of Logan. (As much as I miss Winnemucca, I think she would like Logan better.) On the train going home Megan cried for a good hour because she was afraid that she would never see anyone again. I promised her that we would make a another trip out there this spring. I'm sure that I could get my Mom to go out there with us.
