Lake Tahoe

We spent the afternoon at Lake Tahoe…team bonding. It was beautiful!

Original team from 14U. 

Diamonds (a couple of girls couldn’t make it). 

Parents and kids. Marc had to use the restroom so missed out on this photo. 

 

Reno Softball

Softball started today. 

Olivia pitched the second game of the day. 

She played first base the first game. 

Marcus and Mommy cheering on the team. 

Olivia pitching 

Emma played a lot of catcher and a ton of shortstop. She rocked it at both but made some amazing plays at short. I took a ton of pictures with my real camera so will update this post when I download those. 

Girls played well but lost both games. More games to comae. 

 

More adventures

Olivia is learning to drive the motorhome. Today was lesson 1…she pulled it forward about 2 feet…good start!  We made it to Reno and the RV place I booked was horrible!  So we stayed one night and canceled the rest. Luckily they gave us a full refund. 

We found an incredible place that had a spot for us..Sparks Marina. The bonus is it’s 15 minutes closer to the softball fields they will play at. Today was a free day so we started with shopping. 

Then we headed to the marina and played on the beach.

 

A family that plays together stays together. 

Next we checked out University of Nevada. 

This place is cool. 

Emma is really liking the big schools. 

Olivia seems to be leaning towards the smaller schools but thought this was a beautiful campus. 

We found the softball field. 

The field was really nice…we were impressed. 

Boise wrap up

We went to Vintage Market and visited Nikki. 

Nikki had a booth there for her candle business with her husband. We bought some candles and soap. 

We made a trip to camping world for supplies for the Motorhome. 

We drove by the capital building. 

And our campground gave us free tickets to the truck races!  

They raced late models too…just like what Marc used to race. 

The kids loved it. 

There was even a wreck right in front of us. 

Even though it was over 100 degrees today we had such a great time in Bose. We leave early tomorrow for Reno!

 

Boise State University

Next stop was Boise State University 

Marcus thought this was a cool field. 

It is a pretty impressive place. 

Go Broncos. 

What fun. 

Everything was so cool. 

The softball field is off campus though but pretty nice. 

Go Boise State!

 

College of Idaho and Northwest Nazarene

Next stop was college of Idaho. 

We of course found the softball fields. The girls and Marcus loved this school…the football field is right next to the rodeo grounds! 

Then we made it to Northwest Nazarene University. 

Softball 

So far our favorite softball field of the trip. It was beautiful!

The girls loved the campus. 

They do have a good softball program but sadly so not have football which might be a deal breaker for these two.
