Nevada State Railroad Museum and some good ole fashioned shooting!

Yesterday morning we had our coffees and visiting with blogging friends nice and early. I was hoping to get out of here about 0900..hmmm that didn't happen. It was closer to 1000 which was what Ken had expected.  

I made sandwiches for a picnic lunch, grabbed some chips, sodas, watermelon and cookies. Got the boys up and made them some egg sandwiches at their request. Again, Aaron had 3! We left here in the Tundra and headed for Gardnerville where we picked up just a few things at Walmart.  We headed on to Carson City and dropped off the old tire and bought one more for the Dodge. Then we headed over tot he Nevada State Railroad Museum.  Nice little museum, definitely affordable for families as 18 and over  is $6.00 a person, under 18 is Free.  The museum is housed in two buildings with trains in both. We walked both buildings and enjoyed the trains and other exhibits. If you're a train buff I'm sure it would impress you, we're not but still enjoyed.  Even the boys enjoyed.  After that it was over to Mills Park and we found a nice big tree and had our lunch. Perfect for such a warm day. 

This was my favorite..loved the round windows, which open


This car used to be a Denneys at the corner of Williams
and Carson St. in Carson City. 

Of course, ya gotta check the phone..haha


On to more trains..


Loved the inside of this one..fancy velvet seats

and the ceiling artwork

This was so cute..


Boys will be boys...every gadget you could play with they did..

This one used to serve the Tucson area



Beautiful isn't it?!

Again, got to figure out how the old thing works..



Some old signs on the wall...


Mason, Ken and Aaron :)

Filled the Tundra with diesel and then over to Carson Jeep to pick up the 08 Patriot. I dropped Ken off and the boys and I drove home. He got there just a few minutes later. Ken was just going out to start the bar b q and Joe, Stacey and Rylee showed up for a nice visit. Dinner was later than planned but no one cared. Last day of school was yesterday for Rylee so now on to summer vacation. 

Ken bar b qued his famous Papa burgers which is always requested by the boys whenever they're here.  Called it a night not too much later. The boys didn't, heard this am it was about 0300 before they went to sleep. 
Our sunset was beautiful last night..



Friday morning, we were up about 0600 or so and we started the coffee. Not much going on, so I let the boys sleep until they were ready to get up. 10 something for Mason and 1140 for Aaron. Mason wanted his pancakes and Aaron had french toast and bacon. I did a load of laundry for them, so they're not going home with dirty clothes (not that they care). After Ken and I had our salad lunch and Mason had a tuna sandwich we loaded up and headed over to the gun range for some shooting. It's nice it's only about 5 minutes from the house. The boys enjoyed, even though it was hot we had a nice breeze blowing. Back home and Aaron wanted a couple of sandwiches to sustain him until dinner. Mind you this is 1600 now. What he wants he gets at Grandma's haha..

Ken having a little fun too

Mr. Cool Aaron showing off his muscles..and juggling skills 

Tomorrow morning we're taking them to breakfast at Dini's in town hopefully about 0730. Then I'll run them home probably down Highway 50 because I like it better than I80. Sure am going to miss them, they're so good and no arguing. Very blessed that they like to come when they can. 

We have two grandsons who will be graduating high school June 2019. They don't waste anytime getting your year book pics done..Jacob went for his today..stole these from FB. 


There's our smiley boy Patsy! 




Time for wine now and dinner in a bit...Look George (Our Awesome Travels) what I found at Winco! Yours looked so good had to get them! 

Have a wonderful evening!!
