Families can bring their kids down and meet Sassy and Sally (some of the largest horses in the world!), and ride a nice relaxing antique carriage. See downtown from a slower relaxing view point. See things you don't see from a car !!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06588614096604024133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6931942690068259127.post-11432427880664835902009-03-28T20:29:00.000-07:002009-03-28T20:29:00.000-07:00March 28,2009...Today started out to be one warm a...March 28,2009...<BR/><BR/>Today started out to be one warm and beautiful day. As I drove around town I noticed a huge number of Butterflies, Painted ladies no less.<BR/><BR/>I came home to sit in my front yard and watch them fly right over my head. Fast fluttering wings, showing that they came with a mission in mind. Never stopping to smell the flowers. Their destination was the only thing on their little minds..<BR/><BR/>What a site to see. As I and my Daughter Michelle watched them.We relaxed and took in their beauty and wondered where they might be going...Now we know to Oregon were told.<BR/><BR/>God Speed little ones...May you reach your destination and rejoice...<BR/>A wonderful experience to see and to end a perfect day~<BR/><BR/>Carol Smith~ of San Jose CaliforniaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6931942690068259127.post-28242207078407434772009-03-20T17:19:00.000-07:002009-03-20T17:19:00.000-07:00Were these monarchs?
