DCC Homecoming 2021
It was a big day... Homecoming! The 17-member "gang" met up at Zoe's early in the day to get ready, photos at the nearby pond around 4:30pm, dinner at our house around 5:30pm, the dance at school about 7pm, back at our house to party after the dance, and eventually everyone got to sleep after the boys left in the wee hours of Sunday morning.

Halloween's Comin' On
By some miracle, Lexi actually got a pumpkin from her "sprout in a cup" that she brought home on the last day of Kindergarten last May. All the while, Halloween costume parts have been arriving. Can you guess the theme?...
Nana and Papa checked at the new Vaqueros! |

Carnival Week at DCC
The week leading up to Homecoming is Carnival Week at DCC. Lots of fun! For Lexi, the week also included some baking with Nana.
Enough to tucker one out. |

Pismo and Nipomo
Vickie, Nana, and Papa left Yosemite on September 25th for some time at the beach in Pismo. We did all kinds of hiking around with the Foster grands, enjoyed Trevor hosting us Daou Winery, Old West Cinnamon Rolls, etc. Vicki and Lynn left for home on the 30th while Jamie stayed over to attend some of the activities at the Central Coast Railroad Festival, a county-wide event he chaired this year (and in 2019).

Too Much Light...
Nana and Papa missed another of Fina's productions while in California. This production by the DCC High School Theater Department was titled, "Too Much Light Makes the Baby Go Blind." Obviously a little different. 30 plays in 60 minutes. And they did 30 plays in 60 minutes!
Yosemite
Nana and Papa were in Yosemite for a week with Jamie's sister's side of the family. We were there for a "repeat" of the wedding we had in Garden of the Gods exactly a year ago. Though the Yosemite wedding plans were cancelled last year, the reservations were kept in place; so it was turned into a 1-year anniversary extravaganza.
The dinner after the wedding/anniversary was spectacular. |
Jamie and Lynn visited this abandoned fire outlook tower. |
We didn't stay at the Ahwahnee, so it's still on our list. |
We stayed here, in Yosemite West. |
