ELKO NEVADA

We had such a fun weekend in Elko Nevada with Jess' family I will post lots of pictures. We all got there on Saturday morning that is when the fun begins! Jess' Grandpa Bob is from Elko and the county fair was going and they have horse races and other rodeo events going, we also went to the Sherman station. It is a beautiful big log house that Jess' great great grandpa Valentine Whalther built it was sixty miles out of town they brought it into town preserved it and it is a visitors center right in town and city office building. Jess' great grandma Louise Botsford was also born in that house and Mitzi got to show us the exact room it was so amazing to get to see that family history. We then went over to the races I have never seen one before it was really cool. Travis my brother in law was the only one who bet but he did not win :( We went to The Star to eat it is really good but we all got very stuffed!!! Then the adults went gambling I can not I am still a baby not 21 but I got to babysit my handsome little nephews Cooper and Hayden! We went to more races and got to watch the team branding (way cool never seen it before!) then we went up to Lamoille canyon it was so beautiful and had some lunch grandpa Bob told some of his amazing life stories that I love! We had some good laughs with my father in law Russ and my mother in law Mitzi, the babies had a swim at the hotel and the big boys had fun with the baby tubes. Then Jess, Travis, Crystal, and I went to the casino (I did not get caught) I didn't gamble I just watched it was fun Crystal was the big winner of the night Travis and Jess did not do to well. But it was tons of fun! I am so glad we all got to spend time together! We had a Blast and you can all check out our fun family pics!!
