Ready for Pre-school





We stopped by Tricia & Damon's home on the way up to Utah (drove Cyndi & Craigs car up). Tricia had to be at her school first thing and then I drove Shane over for them to go to his "meet the teacher" day before pre-school started.




Trevor hopped on the rocking lamb all by himself. He had fun showing us how he can rock!

Rainbow



A few weeks ago in the morning we had some lightning & thunder. I went out and saw a full rainbow out over the ocean. The top picture is how it came out on the camera. The bottom one is with some auto adjustments done by Picassa software (also used to upload this to our blog! The storm did not come in over land. I can't remember when the last time we had a thunder storm before this one.

Saturday outing



Aloha Beach Festival on the Ventura Promenade
Sept. 15, 2007


Dave & Claudia at Bandits Restaurant


These are our FIRST BLOG Pictures! Claudia & I went down to the beach & fairgrounds on Saturday afternoon. Ventura was having its third annual Aloha Beach Festival along the promenade. There were food and craft booths, hula hoop-ers, and skate boarders doing stunts along the way. They were even holding a surfing competition at Surfer's Point, with bleachers for spectators. The waves were only 3 feet high, but they were having fun. The announcer detailed each move of the surfer entrant, a turn, changed to goofy foot, etc.

After seeing everything at the Beach Festival, we walked across the street to the fairgrounds, for a home show. Lots of different companies selling their services (newwindows, hot tubs, landscape artists, etc.) for the home. We saw an old friend, Dan Drake, the chimney sweep in one of the booths. He was one of our customers at Quality Copy and we had him clean our chimney back in the days when it was wood burning (now gas logs only). At a granite counter booth there was a young boy around 10 years old that gave a real good presentation and asked if we wanted a flyer. He was one of the best salesmen we ran into all day.

After leaving the fair we did a bit of shopping around town(Claudia's errands). By that time it was dinner time, so we drove out to Camarillo and ate a place called Bandits. It is a cowboy themed BBQ place. As you enter, by the door, they have a big barrel of peanuts for you to eat and you just throw the shells on the floor. We had really yummy BBQ sandwiches, corn on the cob and beans. See the saddles in the background? Very thematic decor.

Claudia drove Gigi up Wheeler Canyon today. They enjoyed seeing some horses and cows and being out in the country.
