Picnic Day 2014

Today I went to UC Davis’ one hundredth Picnic Day celebration. I’ll just be doing a few pictures or today’s post.

Picnic Day is basically a county fair that takes place on a college campus.

First there was a couple of speeches and then a parade!

There were about seven Deloreans in the Picnic Day Parade. This is just one of them going down the street.

After the Parade my wife and I went to see the Disc Dogs competition. The dogs have to catch a bunch of frisbees in one minute and bring them back to their master. The dogs get more points for more frisbees and if the frisbees are thrown further.

After lunch we went to see a cool local rock band, Crow Canyon! The three members, Riley, Nathan, and Drew, are in high school. You can check out their music at http://www.crowcanyonband.com/. They have free music samples!

We went to a small petting zoo set up by the stables. We got to pet some young cows, sheep, and goats.

And I also got some new pictures for the blog in general of horses and CORRALS.

That’s it for now!
