Fannin Family Fun
Here are just some photos of visiting, etc. with the family the evening we got to Santa Rosa.. The whole family was together and went out for Mexican, and then after that, we stopped by these polo grounds that are near Nana & Papa's house.. I think I posted pics of these polo grounds before. GREAT place to run dogs (and/or kids) and also to fly a kite.
Austin's favorite 3-legged Border Collie, Skippy..and Calvin the heeler came to visit with Uncle Dave & Auntie Andrea from Phoenix..
Skippy is running in this one and it cracks me up b/c it looks like he's just standing on his two front legs, like he has NO back legs.

And lots of running..

Did I mention the running?
Saw a couple of those dogs that look like mops, with dreds down to the ground... Italian Sheepdogs..interesting. Not so cuddly and fuzzy to pet. hmm. They originated in the Alps so this coat protected them from alot of diff. things including, probably, predators.. don't think anything would want to bite through all that hair. ?
Lots of people bring their dogs to this place. We saw a couple of Old English Sheepies, and one that looked JUST like an O.E. but was totally white, beautiful. Must have been an O.E. mixed with something like a Pyrenees or something.
Anyway, here are just some random photos of the fam.
Alex, Uncle Dave, Kelsey, Papa..Chris way in the background with his kite..
Kelsey, Dave, Ryan, Nana(with Papa behind her and Ben behind him) Andrea, Austin..
And a few photos from around the house..
We decided to try out our tent and "pretend" camp the first night since all the beds in the house were taken.. well, we didn't last long. Went in the house early in the morning, FREEZING. Slept on the couches after that. Hooray for couches and warm houses!
Austin hanging with the cousins..(And Uncle Dave..)
The End. Next time.. Pics of the Charles Schulz museum! Neat place.
