LA County Fair

We visited the fair with our dear friends Kevin and Joyce or as the girls refer to them, "Uncle Booty and Aunt Bubba"

That night we saw Darius Rucker in Concert

It isnt a fair without the FOOD!

Day 4- Safari West

Dozer the giraffe seemed much more like a great dane than a wild animal! He even purred when you pet him!

A day on the Sonoma Serengeti! Safari West is located on the outskirts of Santa Rosa and is a very cool experience to share with the family.

Day 3- San Francisco

All the famous tourists traps in one day!

Emily was so looking forward to visitng Uncle Rick at his workplace. Seeing all the memoribilia was "totally cool"!

That night we caught a Giants vs. Red Sox game. Very cool stadium but no escalators and it was a LONG climb to the "cheap seats"! Did I mention the record breaking HEAT? It was miserable! We left when the score was 16-2.....Go Giants!

American Girls

Gramma Jo in town meant a weeks worth of fun and spoiling the girls would NEVER FORGET! The 1st item on the agenda was American Girl Place in Santa Monica. We had brunch in the cafe' and it was just ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS!

No trip would would be complete without picking up their 1st American Girl Doll. It must've been meant to be that the doll most closely resembling Emily was the "Girl of the Year"....Lanie! Anndylan chose one of the "itty bitty" twin dolls and named her "BABY"

Gramma Jo also picked up an extra matching outfit for their dolls! We LOVE our "American Girls"!
