This past weekend my ex's mom came to stay with us. We had a really great time showing her around, although we certainly did not have enough time to do everything we wanted.  Still I am very glad she came.

The animals really liked her, and Gavin really wanted to help her with her yarn.  My daughter proved just how zany she is by running through the fountain at the park. But she was not quite so happy when she was dragged off to jail at the ren fest.

At the park we saw many  birds both in and out of the water. The fountains as usual were very pretty to behold.  We ventured a little further although there is still so much to explore. It seemed the Japanese Garden did receive some damage from Hurricane Rita, and much was under repair except here.

We had a great time at the Ren fest which was one of the reasons she came. We saw
 ded bob as well as many other interesting characters that make it worth it just by themselves.  This door led from a store.  And this wall just caught my eye. Sadly, all good things must come to an end.
