Yesterday I went to the Costa Mesa - Newport Harbor Lions Club Annual Fish Fry & Carnival, held at Lions Park in Costa Mesa. It's a great non-profit event that helps raise money to give back to the community.

I have many fond memories of attending the Fish Fry as a child, and I know many stories of my parents attending the same event when they were children. I wanted to bring my son and husband to the Fish Fry to start a new seed of memories!

While I was there, I took quite a few great photos of the vendors, as well as the carnival rides. I also got some of the entertainment by LaRocco's Music and the crowd enjoying them.

I really hope I win that Camaro, and I definitely look forward to visiting the Fish Fry next year!

Today I had the opportunity to attend a baby shower for my friend. She has two daughters, but is pregnant with her little man. She has such a great family and awesome friends, and it was a beautiful baby shower! She got so many great things, including hand-made blankets and hooded towels, and a lot of sports-themed clothes (her family is full of Dodgers and 49ers fans).

Congratulations Rodriguez Family on your new little boy!

Finn's 2nd birthday party was a success, despite how blustery it was! Sure, it was breezy, but it was also very bright, cheerful, and fun. Close family and friends came to celebrate with the birthday boy, and everyone had fun playing at the park, kicking the soccer ball, and eating yummy pizza & bright blue Batman cupcakes. Finn didn't like getting the frosting on his hand at first, but shortly after he realized what it was, it ended up all over his face.

Thank you Smith family and friends for allowing me to photograph this special day! Same time next year?


...until next time,

Smile!
