The Almeda County Fair...where they have horseraces...
Beautiful garden exhibits...
and Madeline's FIRST ever carousel ride...of which she did not say "wee," but "woah" over and over! lol 
Next stop...the Santa Monica Pier...
and some good times on the beach. Lillian overcame her fear of the waves this year and had a blast jumping them. Madeline's favorite part was chasing the seagulls. See?

Madeline just reminded me to show you this...the next work in progress picture! 
In other news, I'm learning that I can't use up all of my own recyclable materials...I'm trying like crazy...the paper mache, the bottles and things, but as much as I try, the only thing I'm seeming to accomplish is driving my husband crazy by stashing it all for future use! lol
I also have FOUR girls painted for new paintings! Yeah! Have a great day all! :)
