Riverdale Spring Festival

The first weekend in May we ventured to my home town for the Riverdale Spring Festival.

Picture this. Small town parade, free ice cream provided by local dairy farmers, bbq by the local Lions Club, vendors and rodeo, all in the course of a weekend.



Growing up near Riverdale, I took for granted the care free and simply fun nature of this festival/event. It was fun to see the entire weekend through the eyes of Olivia this time!

Olivia loved the parade (anything horses is a big hit) and her first ice cream cone.

Riding the Dolpin at La Arcada

Since we live downtown in SB one of Olivia's favorite walks is to La Arcada Court where there are tile walkways lined with sculptures, fun store fronts and quaint sidewalk cafes.

On this fine day in April, Olivia and friend Jordan found the dolphin sculptures and decided to go for a ride ....
