Orange County Fair.

So Chuck tried the infamous fried butter. Needless to say he did not need an ambulance, but he didnt eat or think about food for about a day!
And I only wish I had the horns that this cranky fella had!! Ride em' cowboy!
I had to take a picture of the biggest balls I have seen in my life. You go WILBUR!!!

Laguna tide pools.

Chuck wanted to do something we haven't done, so he took me to Newport Beach to go whale watching, and we saw dolphins. They swam right up to the boat to the point where we could have touched them if we wanted to fall in. Then we went to the hotel and ordered room service for the very first time for the both of us. We are in our twenties and were too tired at 6pm to get dressed and go out to dinner (LAME!). We learned from the pro (Chris) and went on the TV and both ordered steaks and soup. It was actually the coolest experience! The next day we went to Laguna Beach and went on the tide pools and spent like 2 hours just searching for hermit crabs and cool seashells.

The "Corpse Flower".

The yard and all the gardens farther in front of this are the lily ponds and japanese gardens. Behind this is the picture below. The mansion.
The side view of the mansion. To the left of this pic is the green grass and trees that is in the pic above this one.
In the mansion on the library grounds, this little chapel was on the bottom floor at the end of the staircase. I love the stained glass windows, and it had a little altar to kneel down upon.






These were a bunch of strings with little tiny lights at the end of them that were powered solarly.
This was invented in 1534. Me and Chuck thought it was unreal that even back then they could pin point where the femoral artery was and where it could lead to. Also the heart is labeled with all the parts that we study to this day. This scientist had all the major veins and organs labeled and pointed out. It was pretty cool. All these pictures were in one of the museums at the library.

Benjamin Franklin. He is on the "C" note, which is the 100 dollar bill.











The solar green house where the corpse flower was.



This was just one of its far off cousins. Don't know the name but thought it was a cool looking flower.



The green leaves at the bottom of the flower with the maroon color at the top is the part that opens up.
This is the infamous Corpse Flower that only blooms once a year if your lucky. It dies and never comes back after it blooms. Its called the corpse flower because it smells really bad, almost close to a dead body. It will give off the scent for about 12 hours and then close back up and its done. They have to clone this flower in order to get it to bloom again. Pretty awesome site. It was at the Huntington Library.

HEADLINE NEWS!!! Chris pitches against the Angels!

Chris's "lil" number 1 fan! Melissa made him a shirt with Chris' picture on the back. Way cute.



Mom and Chris after his one inning of pitching!



One hit, one strike out, and one groundout. Three in a row to end the game!

Glamour shot before the start of the game.


Catching a picture on the other side of the field from where we were sitting. He pretended to walk around because he knew we were there and wanted to take pictures.


Doing some exercises while in the bullpen.

Prince Fielder!
