Reno Trip

In an earlier post I added that I would be traveling without Arlee or Hans.  The trip itself was great, but it was really hard to be without them.  At night I usually have to cuddle with Hans to go to sleep and he wasn't there.  I shared a bed with my little sister, Kali and let me just say... she takes up the WHOLE bed!  Yikes.  I was so afraid that I would forget that it was her and not Hans and start cuddling with her.  That wasn't the case at all. I don't know who she thought I was, but she kept getting closer and closer to me throughout the night.  Lets just say I really missed Hans taking up a little bit of the bed.
After the seven and a half hour drive we arrived at our hotel at 11:00 PM Reno time. (an hour behind)  We got ready for bed and everyone was asleep, but me.  I wanted Hans!  He wasn't there so I had to make do.  It wasn't working.  I think that this was the hardest time that I had going to sleep, next to the night before I got married or first day of school.  I usually have a hard time sleeping in strange places anyway, but it seemed to be worse. 
Finally, morning came!  I never thought I would be so excited to see the sun.  I could get up and get ready. My mom was awake about the same time as me and she jumped in the shower first while I moved over to her bed.  After she was done it was my turn.  We had both showered and oh guess who was still sleeping like a baby?  My dearest little sister and still taking up most of the bed.  You better believe I couldn't wait to wake her up.  She wasn't really ready, but it was time! If you know what I mean?
My mom and I were starving.  Hungry was calling you know.  We called my aunt, Abbie-sister and my grandma to see where they wanted to go.  We ate Denny's and then went to Scheel's (Reno's Cabella's) I have heard that it put Cabella's to shame.  I haven't ever been there so I will take there word for it.  We had a lot of fun taking pictures.  One that we took was by an aquarium that made two arches to get  in the rest of the store.  It had so many fish in it.  I thought it was really cool.  I didn't get the full picture of it, but I have the ones that we took by it.  Kali has a few more pictures of the things, but here are the pictures that I took:

Kali sleeping in the back seat... She did this a lot!

Our messy slept in beds.  Kali and I "shared" (she isn't very good at it) this one on the left and my mom's was on the right

This is one of the many sides of this exibit of wild animals at Scheels

Watch out the mountian lion looks really hungry! AHHHHH!

I... I...Captain!

A plan hanging from the ceiling- my brother, Jake is going to be a pilot.  We took this to show him.

This is one B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L sunset on our long drive home

Here is the opposite direction of the sunset.  I love to see the false sunsets

This is my grandma's car in front of us... We were following them after my aunt (who is driving) ran over this

YIKES!  That is one huge tire chuck.

Just so everyone reading this knows to not only to pick this up after using them and not to leave them in the road, but don't ever run over them and expect nothing to happen.  BTW... my aunt didn't have a choice in the matter. : )
