Fairy Land

Took the kids to a place called Fairyland this weekend. It's in Oakland and has been around since about 1950. Supposedly it was the inspiration for Disneyland but I can't legitimize that by any means. The kids, however, had a great time. Here are a few snapshots of our day.
Next weekend we go to the circus. It's making a stop in P.Hill so we have to go. Not sure if it's traditional or modern or what. Hopefully it will be fun for the kids and hopefully there will be cotton candy b/c that's what it's all about.


Not too much going on here. Kids are growing, still healthy and happy, so can't complain. Chris is waiting to find out about his full-time position at the county. Heidi is trying to get mid-year evaluations complete at her job....5 more days. The oleander is coming back in the backyard by the canal - the county flood control district came through a few weeks back and cut out all the vegetation growing on the fence smaller than 4-inches in diameter. The chickens are still finicky and laying only when they feel like it. Jackson is good but not getting as much attention as he'd like.
We're getting geared up for our road trip. The kids get to see where Louis & Clark made some of their historic adventures and see some of the most pristine country in this nation. Can't wait!!
Happy July B-day's to Amber, Siven and Uncle Ben (the silly uncle). Happy Anniversay to Par & Justin on 8/1 and Happy b-day to Justin on 8/5. Adios.
