The "other" Graduate

Anna was playing with my jewelry the other day she came to me and said, "I graduated." (Just like her Daddy and Auntie.) I love her imagination and all she is learning everyday!

Our Lizard Friends

These little guys are all over the place. They scare me when they rustle in the bushes as I walk by, but we love watching them on the walls. Anna even has me tell her stories about the "girl lizard and the boy lizard racing on the walls" before bed. I tried to catch them on video, but couldn't get them... did you know they do push ups? Between that and running all day they put us to shame!

Good Ole' Stanislaus County Fair

We ventured out Saturday afternoon to the fair grounds in Turlock, CA. It was over 100 degrees, but we survived. He had a great time petting animals, seeing baby ducks just out of their eggs, watching the Budweiser Clydesdale's in their parade, going on the carousel (Anna's favorite), eating junky food, listening to a country band, going through a mock rain forest and seeing a show about the cutest monkey in the world as well as Zeus the Boa constrictor. We stayed up late and waited with a crowd to see "KC and the Sunshine Band" rock it out at 60 years old to "Shake Shake Shake... Shake your booty" among others. It was a fun night! Anna was a bit nervous to pet the animals.

I don't know why this didn't flip, this was the lead horse in the parade before he was all hooked up.

This was actually at Michael Jackson's "Never land Ranch." We didn't ride on it due to Anna not being tall enough, but it was cool to see!

We brought our smaller camera and it's shutter is a LOT slower than our Nikon. Here is the best shot on the carousel. Let's just say it was a good thing that horse stopped a little lower to the floor.

Checking out the snakes... not my favorite

In front of the Macaws

Seeing a real Scorpion. Dave touched it, Anna and I opted out, but Anna was interested in looking.
