Well, how quickly plans change...

Wednesday morning Ken and I headed for Gardnerville and Walmart.  I shopped and he took the groceries home in preparation for the kids next week.  I left there and decided to head down Highway 50 because that's my favorite way to get to CA. I hate 80 and dealing with all the big rigs and people.  So it was beautiful...people from one end to the other who think it's ok to just pull over and play in the snow!  Even though there are signs posted all along the highway that state "NO PARKING", guess they figure it doesn't pertain to them if there's snow to be played in. uhhhh...took hours to get to Placerville, which is another place in itself.  There are still traffic signals on the highway there so with the amount of people it's backed up for a long ways...so bottom line I got to Russell's house around 1600 or so, which was no big deal other than the traffic and people!  Guess I've been spoiled in my little piece of heaven in Nevada. 

Russell came home early from work not feeling well, cold etc.  Lori picked up pizza and salad from Old Town Pizza and it was delicious.  The boys played video games and such.  Christina had dropped off Seth and Mason earlier. 

Thursday morning we left about 0730 and Russell and Lori were waiting for their friends and Uber to pick them up for the airport.  We got to Placer High in plenty of time for Jacob's game, but another place where traffic sucks especially in a Toyota Tundra.  They played a good game and won!  So we're back at 1030 today for the final game.

After the game we ended up at Lake Arthur up the road a piece.  The kids wanted to try their hand at fishing..no luck.  Then on to Seth's house to get another fishing pole, fishing at their neighbor's pond for couple of hours which got them no fish.  It was a beautiful day and great temps.  

When fishing doesn't work..climb on
the box in the back of the truck and take a nap!
Mason...

Then we headed down the hill, just about 1500...OH MY ..traffic bumper to bumper and barely moving.  So instead of stopping somewhere to eat the kids decided that they wanted Little Caesars Pizza, so I dropped them off and headed a few miles for the pizza.  Got pizza and breadsticks brought it back and they devoured them! 

A few pics have been posted on FB so it looks like Russell and gang are visiting a few breweries in Denver...

So the plan was to go to Jacob's game in Auburn, get some lunch and then head over the hill to my house.  Well, we've revised it..they don't know yet..but because it's the Friday before New Years Eve..really think that's the best idea?!  Especially since we wouldn't get out until 1300 or so.  NOPE.. and since they're expecting snow on Monday, on which i've got to get the kids back, Aaron has school on Tuesday. uhhh...Ken's coming over tomorrow and will stay until Monday and hopefully we'll make it back over the hill with whatever kids want to go.  So we'll see what happens.
