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 each other 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.
