I spent the 31st, 1st, and 2nd in Las Vegas with some of my O-town girls. We had a true girls weekend including talking, staying up late, eating, lots more talking, shopping, more eating and more talking. I am grateful to have grown up in Oroville California and had such a strong group of friends to learn and grow with.

LaNell got the privilege of driving Cali and I to Vegas - so an extra 12 hours of girl trip fun for the 3 of us!

It was so much fun to catch up with these girls and to make new memories.

I defined the theme of the weekend as “Blessings in Disguise!” We really are blessed. Here are a few pics of Some of the Craziness!

On Monday morning – the 3rd, Ben left for Scout Camp in Yellowstone at 4:00 a.m. He spent the  week there as Scout Master so I spent the week in Pioneer California at my sisters new cabin with a bunch of my family!! It was a long car ride but a very fun trip.

Kayaking on Silver Lake

Me, My Mom, and My Sisters

The Hike form Woods Lake to Winnemucca Lake

We both got home on Saturday the 8th and barely had energy to get the kids in bed, but I would do the same trips again in a heart beat (you’ll have to ask Ben if he feels the same.)

A shoutOut to Ben for doing the Polar Bear! Cold water is not his thing.

I’m posting more pictures right before this post so if you are here to see pics of the cabin trip then keep on reading…
