Friday was a good day!

California is burning up and it has been really smoky in Truckee all week long. So on Friday we decided to head down to Reno to do our grocery shopping and hopefully avoid the smoke. After getting the oil changed and going to 2 stores the kids had had enough and were beginning to melt (probably didn't help that it was 100degrees out!)
This is the scene leaving the last store.
Ella tried to get in through the back and got stuck:
Micah was on the other side crying about something with his shoes:

I decided that it was time for them to cool down and run around. We headed over to Sparks, there is a really cool fountain in front of the movie theater there and in the summer tons of kids come out to run around in it. What a difference 20 minutes makes:

Ella having fun:

A much happier Micah:

After getting home we were invited by Valerie to go to the Village at Northstar to hang out with friends, eat sushi and go rollerskating. Great way to spend a Friday night!

Micah enjoying his sushi (yes he eats sushi with a helmet on, special child):

Ella and her California Roll:

We ran into lots of friends in the Village. Ella saw Zachary, her friend from school, they had tons of fun skating together:

Ella and Zach:

Valerie brought her new puppy, Chesley a Goldendoodle, he wouldn't stand still for pictures, but here he is with Ella. He is so much fun!

Shopping, running through fountains and TONS of fun at Northstar... Friday was a good day!
