Trip to the Nut Tree & Solar Eclipse

We finally got to spend time with Ava on a Sunday so we decided to do something fun! We started driving and saw the Nut Tree. It's a heck of a lot more fun now then when we were kids so we stopped to check it out. Upon turning into the driveway, Drew saw the awesome train and was very excited and Ava saw the Merry-Go-Round and was then very excited. We got tickets to ride the train first and then the Merry-Go-Round. After that fun, we all got smoothies at the Jamba Juice and then headed to the Yolo Fruit Stand for some local fruits and veggies! After that, we headed back into town for lunch with Grandpa Frank, Judy & Auntie Bre at Fernando's mexican restaurant. When we got home from that, it was about time to watch the eclipse! We stacked up our glasses (about 9 pairs) and took a peek (uncle Eric took the pin-hole-box-on-his-head approach). Towards the end of the eclipse, our neighbor came over with his welding mask so we could get a better view. The kids loved to see the sun look "like the moon"! What a fun day! Here are the pics :)
