Graeagle Trip

As you may have noticed last week, but I wasn't around because we were on our annual trip to Graeagle, California. I try not to broadcast that we will be out of town until after we get back because of safety reasons. But it was so nice to get out of town and not be near the riots that were going on in our city. Thankfully, they have calmed down and now we are only seeing peaceful protests. I hope it stays that way.

Anyways, we went to Graeagle on Saturday June 6th. We arrived when it was raining, but not hard enough that it hindered us getting into our cabin quickly. We arrived around 4 pm and spent the rest of the afternoon/evening unpacking and getting settled in. 

That day Sutton was talking and we noticed some extra teeth and in her mouth. Her bottom teeth were very loose and she had two adult teeth poking out. We crossed our fingers that her baby teeth would fall out soon and make room for her adult teeth. One is coming in a bit crooked, but we were assured that it still has time to push in properly.

Sunday it rained all day long. We went up to the lodge and allowed the girls to play at the park, downloaded a few of their movies onto their kindles and did lots of indoor drawing. But I think the highlight of the day was making smores over the fire in the cabin.

The rest of the time we golfed (we had a weekly pass to the golf course that our cabin was on), played in the pool, took walks, played tennis, did drawings, went on hikes, went into town for ice cream and shopping, read and relaxed.

The girls went golfing with us two times and they were able to hit their drivers and putters on each hole. They got pretty good and now we want to get them a lesson.

We got my in-laws this fire pit last year for Christmas and we definitely enjoyed it each evening.

Golf Course Views

We didn't see any deer along the resort the first two day due to the weather, but then each day after that, we saw 7 to 10 deer at a time.

On Wednesday June 10th, Sutton lost her first tooth. She was beyond excited. And Avery was excited for her, but also a bit jealous. Sutton's other bottom front tooth will come out any day now and Avery's two bottom teeth are very wiggly too!

We got a peach and apple pie from the local bakery for desserts (and maybe breakfast).

Fraser Falls Hike

We enjoyed ice cream at Millie's Ice Cream shop in town (twice).

We also hit up the Frostee for lunch one after before ice cream.

And that is all the photos I took over the course of our trip. I have many duplicates, but I just didn't find myself taking too many photos this trip and was just in the moment.

We spent 8 days in Graeagle and it went by entirely too quickly. But we got home, got unpacked and had to get ready for a birthday party. My dear friends daughter turned 1 recently and we went to the cutest rainbow/Love is All Your Need party!

Until next time Graeagle! We got back to Graeagle in August (hopefully), but will be staying at another cabin/lodge.

Graeagle

Last week, I had a break from it all, and it was AMAZING!  There wasn't any wedding planning, any work, or any stress.  Ok there was some stress because I found out a friend has bone cancer and another friend went into the hospital for over working out.  I worried about them, but other than that, stress free.  We spent the week in Graeagle, California.  Graeagle is only an hour and a half from Reno, but it felt so much further.  This trip has been in the works for over a year.

So we did work Monday, but then we drove out to Graeagle after work.  Ok we got SPOILED! Plain and simple.  We had breakfast everyday at 8 am ish and dinner everyday at 7:15 pm.  It was heaven.  Breakfast had hot items plus cereal, bread and extras.  Dinner was amazing.  I must have gained some weight this trip.  Ugh gym time will suck for the next few weeks getting this off.  We had salad or soup, an entree and dessert everyday.  And I ate pie EVERYDAY.  I don't regret it at all.

Tuesday we went on an ATV tour.  So much fun.  It was a three hour tour, up a mountain, throw the forest, and back to grandma's house we go to the starting point.  So awesome.  Wednesday we went golfing.  I sucked, ok not sucked, but didn't play as well as I hoped.  Must have been the golf lesson I took a few days before, or so says Rory.  Thursday we golfed again at the Dragon, and I loved it.  I was killing it off the tee.  Friday we rented kayaks and went to Salmon Lake.  We got to lay out, eat yummy salami and cheese, kayak around the river and even come out with a few knicks and bruises.  All in all, an amazing week.  I did manage to go on a run, a hike and some walks, to burn some calories.  Oh and running on the golf course chasing my ball.

I didn't get many photos as phones don't work up there, which is amazing.  But Rory got more than his few share.  I will need to get some of those, but here are two of my favorite shots.  One of Walter on a hike and the Dragon golf course.

Best trip, but now I am back in cubicle land.  And did I mention it is rainy, windy and cloudy?  I want to go back on vacation.
