San Diego County Fair 2009

The band has finished up another year of performing at the San Diego County Fair.  As always, the people in San Diego treated us wonderful and we were sad to leave when it was over. 

I hope you enjoy the photos I took of the band at the fairgrounds and out having fun in San Diego. 

They were very excited to be at the airport.

Ed's getting some love from Charli.

Check out Steve's kicks.  Pretty high for an old guy. 

Play it!

Go Dan!

San Diego July 3rd

Time is flying so quickly.  Soon, we will be going back home again. On Tuesday, everyone had a needed day off.  Everyone went various places and did various things.  Mostly, it was just nice to have some time to relax. We have a new stomper, Alex!  The future of the band.  He is a natural when it comes to performing!  He even knew how to play the drum with both sticks.

San Diego County Fair

We've arrived at the San Diego County Fair in the beautiful city of Del Mar, California.  I've been trying to post since yesterday, but there was a problem with the internet here.  Hopefully I won't have any more problems with that! Our flights were all on time and it went really well.  We are so glad to be here.  The people are so warm and friendly and of course the weather is fabulous! So here are some traveling photos.... I swear they could make a card table out of anything. 

 

Some more band members waiting for the next flight.

The Grand Canyon. 

 

Yesterday, I was stuck in the break room most of the day with Grace.  Her crate had not been shipped to the hotel yet, so she had to come with us to the fair.  Dogs really aren't supposed to be out running around on the grounds of the fair, so we hung out together.  I did catch one of the shows that I could see from our break room.  You can see Adam just climbing out of the fountain after playing underwater in it. 

 

The television in our break room was on a very loud station which started to get a little bit much to listen too.  They had to come up with a creative way to get up that high to turn it off. 

This morning we started out the day with the local news station filming the band live.  Steve is here talking with the new news anchor. 

 

At our 1:00 show we had some great dancers! 

 

Of course Adam is going to get in that fountain!  He's got his shoes off. 

 

Brenda coming out of the fountain... 

 

Adam is in......he's going under.... 

 

Here's the whole group. 

 

And playing with the Dixie Hasslers.... 

 

It's been two great days so far!
