May 15, 2008 - Sacramento, CA

Larry dropped me off at Angela’s and he went off to run errands. Angela, the boys and I went into town to do some shopping. We drove from Chico to our hotel so we could go swimming in the indoor pool. Larry wasn’t feeling well and said he wasn’t going to go swimming. We walked down to the pool and found out the pool was closed because the filter pump had gone off. Fortunately the spa was still working and was only at 86 degrees. So the boys got to get in and have some fun in the water. We went back to the room and changed our clothes. Left Larry in bed and went to lunch. After lunch we went back to Angela’s and waited for Shane to get home. Once Shane got home, we all piled into the car and went to the Glenn County Fair. Shane and Angela’s nieces, Audrey and Grace, were showing their steers with the 4H Club. The steers are so big and Grace’s steer wasn’t happy about being at the fair. He was foaming at the mouth and kicking his feet. We watched the judging for a while and then took the boys over to where the rides were located. Found out that Brody was too short to go on any of the rides. Cole went on rides with his friend Haley. Later, we took Brody over to one of the game booths to play a game. With his Dad’s help, he won a big blow-up hammer. He was delighted. Cole did the big hammer game and rung the bell. He too got a prize. I had a really fun time at the fair, it was unfortunate that Larry couldn't make it.
