fun at Nut Tree Park - very pic heavy

fun with Koi; walk onto the bridge..they go nuts. Walk off the
bridge they swim away. On, off, on, off....poor little fishes.

Emmy spotted this dragonfly so my quest began to capture the
little bugger on film.
(this is about a 25% crop)

Think our food is trying to tell us something??
The anti-onion ring.

the animal Ian settled for; the zebra

Ians first choice of merry-go-round ride; the pink flamingo

I thought this guy was the COOLEST character on the merry-go-round
but Ian refused to ride it (hmph!)

Snapped this quick on the way out of the park.
This train is an icon to us Vacavillians.

I so love this pic of Ian and his Dad.

Viva La Fiesta (days)

Last weekend in May marks Fiesta Days here in cowtown, USA.
Luckily the weather held out. It rained in the morning then just the clouds remained.
I have to say it's the first Fiesta Days I remember needing a coat.

This is Mikes favorite picture. Ian determined to wrap his mouth around that huge corn dog.

I do love old sign-age. Looks like this one has been painted over a few times.

Ian picking out his 3 ducks.

oooh how I hate the Ferris Wheel. This one was jamming.
You can see the lovely clouds in the background.

Em beat me at my own game...twice! (the water jets in the clowns mouths)
Congrats Emmy...it's twin monkeys!

Squirt Guns - part deux

it was a *brisk* 97 degrees out today so Ian and Dad had a rematch.

Fun with Squirt guns

Well...it was 110 today....time to pull out the super soakers!

Mike asked for a squirt to cool off...be careful what you ask for.
