Visiting Jermosa

Last Saturday the three of us drove up to Sacramento to visit Mark's childhood friend: Jerry "Jermosa" D'Onforio. Mark and Jerry have been good buddies ever since Jerry showed up from Michigan during the 6th grade back at Van Auken Elementary in Palo Alto.

On the way up we stopped to buy arm floaties for Bella... she preferred to use them as a hat!

After swimming Bella and Bree (Jerry's daughter) played a spirited game of "Pretty Pretty Princess."


In the afternoon we headed over to Orangevale to check out "Pow Wow Days" - a country fair like event. Bree gets ready to kick Jerry's butt in a game of skill while Bree's mommy Kris looks on.


Bree won a stuffed bear and gave it to Bella!


Bella loves her bear.


Next Jerry and Bree went for a ride in the 'Super Hanger.'


Jerry... who hadn't been on any such ride in over a decade... almost didn't make it. :-)
