What are Frontier Days?

This past week was quite uneventful and thankfully so. After the holiday weekend Leah started her new "team" gymnastics class. For an hour and a half, 2 days a week, she will be learning special routines and improving her skills. Elizabeth spent the day on Friday with our next door neighbor and her 4 year old daughter after having a small day care crisis which we believe has been solved for the remainder of the school year. Then yesterday while Tim worked the girls and I traveled to Carson City to see my sister and her family for Frontier Days. Just inside the city limits old fashioned cars were on display while motorcycles were parked outside the store fronts. Craft vendors and one tiny elephant ear booth rapped around another short block. Firetrucks and local politicians made their way down the main street passing out candy which the kids eagerly collected. Although some might argue the inflatables were the biggest draw to the country town, it was the beautiful hot air balloons that were expected to fill the evening sky that brought the crowds. Unfortunately at the exact time of the launch the rain started and caused it to be cancelled. We were definitely disappointed, but left having enjoyed ourselves with all the other activities.
