Hot, hot, hot!

What do you do on a 113 degree day? You go to the park and watch Chris play Australian rules football of course!

Our Summer Vacation?

If your vacation lasts about 24 hours, does it count? We spent our "vacation" at the Ventura County Fair. Went up Friday afternoon and got in line for the Trace Adkins concert at 3:30. Thought we'd be one of the first, not so. Afterwards, we took a walk around the midway, then watched the fireworks. The next day it was all planned out - bbq lunch, photo and art exhibits, dipped ice cream, visit republican and democrat booths, rodeo and then more food. What our summer vacation lacked in time, it made up for in fun!

Beach Boys Mania!

Last night we made a last minute decision to head to the fair to see the Beach Boys. Although Allen and I acknowledged we've never been fans, they are such an iconic band, we couldn't resist. I'm so glad we went. We got there late but Allen managed to find us seats in the front. They put on a great show and there is nothing like singing out "Help, help me Rhonda" or feeling the pride swelling during "California Girls". Good times.
