Eldorado Casino

The Eldorado Casino in Reno where the boys will be staying for two nights.

The boys arrived in Reno late in the night but were up in the morning to enjoy the "all you can eat" buffet at the casino. They need all the nourishment they can get because waterpark #1 is happening today!

Exhaustion

Here's a little "Brody Break" from the road trip. An exhausted boy on the drive back from Grants Pass.

Cotton Candy Diner

Because of their long hike to Burney Falls, dinner was a bit delayed and the gang stopped to eat at the only restaurant open in Chester, The Cotton Candy Diner. You get free cotton candy with a kids meal. I'm sure the boys didn't mind.

Lassen Volcanic National Park

The boys stopped at Lassen Volcanic National Park in northeastern California to explore the sulfurous volcanic activity.

I'm guessing the smell wasn't too pleasant.

A friend along the way...

"Hydrothermal (hot water) features at Lassen Volcanic include boiling mud pots, steaming ground, roaring fumaroles, and sulfurous gases. These are all linked to active volcanism...nowhere else in the Cascade Range of volcanoes can such an array of hydrothermal features be seen."

My sweet boys. What an amazing dad Cooper and Brody have. He is full of fun and adventure and gives them experiences they will remember forever.

Mt. Lassen

The boys getting loopy on Mt. Lassen...

Shasta Caverns

One of the anticipated stops on the road trip was the Shasta Caverns. Below you will find the gratuitous shot of boys with guns.

Inside the caverns...
