Sunday: Fathers Day .... and Guns! (>_<)

Last night we had cocktails around the pool with a little wine and cheese..... Very grown-up of us... *_*

Took some sunset pics of the Wu:

And of course... her obsession!

"Doggy DOGGY!"

This morning Jac, Wu, Ace and I had breakfast at the Murphys Hotel courtyard:


Celebrated the 2 fathers present


Then we had time to kill because Jacqui's church was closed so we went to a town called Angel's Camp

Discovered by George Angel
Gold Miners used to Camp there
[go figger!]

Beautiful little town

But they are big on jumping frogs...
When I say big.... I Mean BIG!

Bike-riding frog

Disco Frog

Frog that probably likes 'Show Tunes'
if ya know what I mean
[Not that there's anything wrong with that!...lol]

Fireman Frog
et al



In fact, the town has a Frog Jumping competition every year and both sides of Main St have a Frog-Jumping-Champions Walk of Fame.....


Brass placques in the sidewalk


After mass [Don't get me Started about how this church Too can make a long mass Long-ER!  Sheesh!]

We thought that no Fathers Day would be complete without ....GUNS!


This shotgun really had a hard kick-back

George throws them... and I shoot ...near them (>_<)

Ace shot around them too...

In fact... he got so frustrated...
He decided to take a shot at God!

I think this was his closest shot to anything!

Suffice to say... no pigeons were harmed in this little macho Fathers Day outing...

Life is good.... Heard from my daughters who wished me a good  FD... Kori Skyped me from Australia and Alanah called me on the cell.

This afternoon, the fathers are relaxing around the pool...

Tomorrow... the Wu and I say good bye to California and head to Reno...

Been just a great Great time here at the estate... Thanks so much Jacqui and George!
