Nevada Trip

Ok, so where did I leave off......Oh yeah!!! Well we arrived in NV 9 hrs after leaving CA. It was great. The kids I think though thought they had entered a whole other world. My mom and dad have some land that they camp and gold mine on about an hour outside of Elko, Nv. ( I grew up in Elko). This is where we stayed for the next 10 days. Camping. Of course when we first go there the kids weren't quite sure what to do and when they asked what there was to do we said whatever you want. Well this got them excited for a moment and then they became concerned with getting lost. We all laughed and assured them that they would not get lost. We didn't do much while we were there and that was great. There was no phone, TV or anything electronic unless it ran off of batteries or gas. We did allot of 4-wheeling (every day) and the kids looked for crystals on the mountain side which are just clear quartz rocks but everywhere. They spent allot of time looking for those. As the days past they began bringing down whole rocks that had crystals in them and then spent many hours in the water hole washing them. It brought back allot of memories because my mom always had a rock garden and we were always looking for rocks to put in it. Of course our rock finding days are over but mom still has a rock garden which now has new rocks in it. The kids also played in the mud and made not just mud pies but mud cities. It was so much fun just doing nothing. We cooked every meal over the campfire and had smores every night. We can't wait to go back. Although mom and dad might not feel that way since they are used to it just being them and then here all of us come...My older sister Serena also got engaged while we were out there so that was amazing to be able to be a part of that. Not allot to post about the trip we just hung out around camp sometimes not showering for a couple of days I think there were days I didn't even brush my hair and one day I just stayed in my pajamas all day. It was definitely a trip of lots of memories. We had no worries...acunimatata.
