Family! Bethany and I arrived in Gardnerville about 11pm on Friday night. Carter and Dale were already here, they drove from Las Vegas and arrived around 4pm. We got up bright and early Saturday morning and headed for Apple Hill! The drive was beautiful! The leaves in Hope Valley are starting to change colors - what a sight! Apple Hill wasn't too crowded, so that helped make for a nice, leisure morning/afternoon. One problem...no, two. When we returned to the car at High Hill Ranch, both tires on the right side of the car were nearly flat. After nursing the car to a gas station, we filled them up and we were on the way. And, neither tire has lost air since. How does that happen? Interesting...
We bought a dozen apple donuts, four apple fritters, two gallons of fresh apple juice, two jars of chunky apple sauce and one big jar of apple butter. Yummy! We've already inhaled the fritters, the donuts, one jug of juice and one jar of apple sauce! Pigs! No, we had a nice little gathering this morning for breakfast at my parent's house, and that is where all the food went.
The wedding last night was beautiful. It was at Wally's Hot Springs in Genoa, NV. The wedding was outside, and the reception was in the lodge. Kanako's dress was beautiful, and so were her bride's maids. The food was delicious: salmon, prime rib and chicken! Plenty of good stuff for everyone! And the Martha Stewart type cake was wonderful! After Kanako and Brad's first dance, Kanako got very sick. The poor thing starting throwing up, and it got so bad the paramedics came to make sure she was alright. She was, but not unshaken. Poor thing! We presume the nerves and stress of it all had everything to do with it. We all had a good time dancing though, although the DJ was a little slow on picking up the pace. We got to say goodbye to Kanako, and she was doing well. She seemed to be in good spirits, and we just hope that she can look back on this and laugh!
This morning before breakfast this morning, Beth, Carter and I went flying with my uncle Danny! It was so much fun. It was my second lesson from Danny. We flew over Lake Tahoe and then south over Hope Valley. It was all so beautiful, and I got to learn a little more about the world of flying. Hopefully I will be able to start my formal flying lessons in January as planned. Well, I need to pack my bags since Dale and Carter are going to take them in the car. They are leaving soon, and Beth and I catch our flight back to LV at 4:30 this afternoon. Although this was a quick trip, it was fun, relaxing and enjoyable!
