Father's Day Weekend

We headed out to Yerington for Father's day weekend. It was nice to get out of town and relax. We went to the Lyon County Museum open house. My dad is part of the board and he and his friend David made a homemade Pizen Switch to serve refreshments. It was pretty impressive!  Addy kept calling it Papa's house and loved sitting in it with him eating cookies. Liam got to pan for gold, which was really neat as well.  Of course, the trains were a huge success with both kids.

That evening we celebrated Nana's birthday and I made her a yummy strawberry cream cake from my friend Natalie's blog. It was fun to bake something new. It was also so nice to relax and let the kids play and enjoy the slower pace of the small town. I really miss that. My mom got all of our old barbie stuff down and Addy had a BLAST playing with it.  photo CCBD2309-FAAB-41C3-928F-F389A347A8B7-29724-00000D879C792B81_zps7c107a6f.jpg  photo C0F84F90-AC94-4515-9E53-1E581D525A91-29724-00000D87B6C58921_zpsba367cd6.jpg  photo 07530BB0-99F4-4DFD-8B43-1F81E0555D1F-29724-00000D87A8D956BC_zps79abb618.jpg Sunday, the dads decided that they wanted to go fishing, so we went out to some ponds. Unfortunately the fish weren't biting, but we had a great time. Addy was so much more in to it that I was anticipating. And Liam decided that he LOVES casting with an adult fishing pole and he just wanted to practice constant casting. After fishing, we did some target shooting. It was a very fun day!  photo 10382DCC-DA2E-41A6-B20B-562E054DF534-29724-00000D87CA1810C3_zps623295aa.jpg  photo AC5A02D3-3BDD-430B-B3C6-10151D35B62E-29724-00000D87D31D9F64_zps6d0a0f9d.jpg  photo E4A343BD-1BE6-40CE-8C03-2B295C913BDC-29724-00000D87DA9C4946_zps38d8d1d3.jpg  photo F90A3A5A-7B7A-4F69-A824-32585C68340F-29724-00000D87E5E1464C_zps5d2cd2b4.jpg
Unfortunately I didn't take any 'formal' pictures of the dads with the kids. :( However, my kids and myself are SO lucky to have such a wonderful daddy and papa. So, so lucky.
