Summer Solstice!

I have never seen anyone welcome summer like this before! There is a HUGE summer solstice parade here in Santa Barbara every June. I managed to stay in town for the weekend! It was fun!!

A few of my coworkers were dancing with the African drum group. We went to the festival Friday night to see them and the rest of the performers from the parade. Then we dressed appropriately and headed down for the parade on Saturday. A friend had a picnic near the festival grounds so we were back and forth all weekend! Lots of fun!!



Beach volleyball every Thursday night. Dolphins decided to join us this week!

A coworker brought his bird to the festival

I loved these capes!! So much fun to twirl!!!

Some funky trees out here..

Yum!! What a way to start the summer! chocolate funnel cake!! A bit of overkill even for me!!

Finally learned to hoola hoop!!

I LIKE!! They are just Indian beads!!!
