By the time Sunday night rolled around, the farewell talks and parties were over, and the guests had all gone home and the to-do list was mostly done.
We realized we really just wanted to spend some time alone enjoying eachother as a family.
We decided to let the girls take the day off school and spend part of Monday on a picnic.
Hope Valley came to mind as a beautiful, inspirational place in the nearby mountains.
Grandma Carpenter came with us and we had a lovely, memorable day.
It was a good thing to have lots of leftovers from the past couple of days of parties and dinners... we had a delicious lunch!
The Carson River drifts lazily through this beautiful canyon, a perfect spot for a picnic and a little ankle-deep wading.
