Rose Festival Fireworks



We took an evening sail aboard Dreamer Too last night in order to catch the fireworks show that marks the opening of the annual Rose Festival.   Rain, rainbows, and even a bit of thunder and lightening added interest to the evening, but the fireworks were amazing!  Click here for photos.

Celebrating a Great Sailing Season

Drew and his fellow sailors celebrated the end of the spring sailing season last night with dinner and an awards ceremony.  Lincoln sailors got their varsity letters, and everyone got to extend a fond farewell to the sailing team's graduating seniors.  Click here to see photos.

Party Time

Jake, Emily and friends took part in a belated birthday celebration last night.  For a few hours, our backyard was transformed into a castle-o-fun.   There were burgers for dinner and dessert, dancing, games and a LOT of bouncing.  It was a lovely evening, and a good time was had by all.  Click here for photos.
