Mike was home early today so we did lunch @ Fentons and

then hit the Nut Tree park. Ian just loves it there!

Wish I got a better shot of his "flamingo" on the merry-go-round.

No, really, he was having fun. I love the action in this shot.

Something struck me about the way the bumper cars were aligned.

Us "Vacavillians" can really appreciate these nostalgic Nut Tree rocking horses.

and while the kids rock the horses, the parents rock the...er..uh..rockers!

Day 226 - Vintage; wedding gown

my poor wedding gown (and veil). 17 years old. never dry cleaned and preserved.

has a small tear in it and stains from party goers at my wedding

spilling on my dress (near the bottom) as we danced at our reception.

yet I love it. I love that the very last time it was worn was at my wedding reception.

I love that I remember how it was torn and who tore it (quite by accident).

I love that I remember the complete and utter happiness I felt that day.

it was the most fun I ever had.
