Ely, Nevada

We are on our first family road trip!  Located in the remote area of Eastern Nevada, we are staying in the little town of Ely.  The closest city is 2 1/2 hours away!  This ol' mining town is very quaint and peacefull.  Not much to the town itself, but the country around it is absolutely breath taking.  Nearby Cave Lake has become Jack's favorite swimming hole and Jake's favorite fishing spot.

The RV Park we are staying in is very nice.  Everyone around us seems so friendly.  There are a lot of contractors working in the mine staying here as well.  We are parked right next to a large field which Jack loves to go hunting in... he's found a few miscellanous bones to keep him occupied!

Weston is growing like a weed!  At 6 weeks old he is finally starting to fit good in some of his newborn clothes (he's been in premies up until now...) and very quickly growing out of those! I swear he is getting bigger every day right in front of my eyes.  He is such a good baby, very loving and snuggly... which makes nap times very hard!  He has gotten quit attached to falling asleep in your arms, so putting him down for naps has become difficult.  Once he finally falls asleep he only stays asleep for 20 min or so.  We have been slowly weaning him into his own bed at night, which appears to be easier on him then mommy :)  Hopefully as he gets more used to sleeping in his crib at night, it will make nap times easier as well.

Jake is working in an old copper mine just south of town.  There have been a few bumps in the road along the way but if all goes as planned the job should take abouta nother 2 weeks and we'll be home for Memorial Day Weekend!
  For now, here are some pictures of the GIANORMIOUS equipment.  They may not look that big in the pictures, but these trucks can haul a D10 Cat in the back!!! when loaded, they weigh a million pounds!
