Faith had her first summer of fun on the lake.
While she loves swimming, her main interest is playing in the sand and riding in her Pop Pop's boat. She's gotten really good at asking for a boat ride.

June Beach Trip
As summer begins to wind down here in the south, I'll recap some of our fun.
We took the family to the beach back in June for a couple of days. It was lots of fun to watch our granddaughter play with shear delight. She loves the sand and could dig and dig for hours.
Here she is with her Pop Pop as they play in the sand.

And after lots of playing, all girls have to take a break to relax.

The Day After the Wedding
Our flights home were set for Sunday, August 3rd so we had all of Saturday to spend in California. So we headed to the local Orange County Fair. It's a fair that runs for about a month, which was amazing in itself. Each of us found something to catch our interest.
The quilts were hung very high up and therefore it made it difficult for quilt enthusiasts to really enjoy them. This wasn't a quilt show, where quilts are hung at eye level, but rather lots of various different crafts. In fact there were many "collections" displayed at eye level and who knew that folks collected such oddities. Sorry I didn't take pictures of the collections.
There were several huge cookers that were being used by various food vendors to cook mostly chicken halves and ribs as well as fajaitas. Those cookers were fairly typical, but then as we were leaving we came upon this cooker that was being used to cook huge hunks of beef that caught Don's eye. We took lots of pictures in case he ever decides to build one for himself.
Besides all the typical rides found at fairs, it also had livestock on display and various food competitions.
Wow they sure can grow huge lemons in California! The largest was a big as a grapefruit.
But they can't grow pumpkins as big as North Carolina. I've seen bigger ones at the local pumpkin patches here in October.
First, me with the quilts in the Arts and Crafts building.
