Day 2 and 3 of Special Olympics

Ce Ce wondering if we would be on time for the start?

And They are Off!
Ce Ce getting Bronze

Only one event that day then time for Family picture taking!

OK some like to look down on you when they take pictures? But I hate to get up when I'm setting. lol

No Aysha's not setting on Viola's arm, there is a wall there.

Surprise, Viola's eyes are not closed, now we know where Mercede gets it from.

OK Back at hotel time for a couple of pictures there and time for me to head to room for a nap.

Found out later they had spent 3 hrs there.

Last day hard to find where Ce Ce and Mercede will be in events. Mercede had 3 and Ce Ce had 2 and on different sides of the Field, so missed some pictures.

Here C e Ce gets Gold for Base Ball throw.

Mercede Gets Bronze

I have never seen Mercede Run so good~!

She came in Second they Say? Out of 4 running and I did not see the one that won.

But she did get Sliver!

Starting of 2010 Special Olympics

The Officers and Officials in these two pictures were waiting for the entrance of the Athletics to give them high fives as they parade in. And they donate their time!

Makes you feel proud and brings a tear to my eyes.

Did get a better picture of Mercede and Ce Ce coming back after parading in front of grandstand.

The Moon was fighting to hold the Lighting and Rain off in the distance.

As the storm clouds were rolling in.

They got the Torch Lighted for the games the next day.

Got to our Van and leaving the parking lot it

Started to Rain. We all had made it.

"Thanks to God for putting the Moon there."

Never ever seen my Daughter so Happy!

When her Daughter got a Free Ice Cream Scoop from the Dairy Farmer's Exhibit.

A State Trooper was walking by, I told her he might run her in!~ lol

Weekend In Columbia Mo.

Aysha's Dance Recital

OK Kristi got her to pose sitting.

Well my tripod was in the car

or could have gotten all of us. Missing Cole, was not feeling well.

In Shelter Gardens at their small park as I was sitting on a bench waiting for Viola and a early Locust was staring at me.

Thought he might just be drying his wings out for I did not bother it at all.

It is a great place to take Pictures

Easter Egg Hunt

We did miss Kristi, Matt and Cole

but

We were so happy he was released of the Hospital, Easter Morning!

The Easter Bunny

The Line Up

The race is on

Don't get in my way

Tree of Plenty

One Egg is left hanging on a limb

Even the house gets Egged? Lucky a suction cup attached.

Hey I can find two at a time

But I have the most!

OK, there always a Ham at Easter

Well us Grandparents have to be in a Picture.

Pigeons and an unusual tree.

Harlingen, Texas & Jackson Street Murals

Entering from the west on outer 83 hwy with hwy 83 above with some of my favorite Yucca's

Side street off Jackson, Viola wants to be on Jackson St. once a month music and street shopping for 4 or 5 blocks.

THE FOLLOWING PICTURES ARE MURALS

on the back of buildings in the alley with parking lot.

I wish my Photography was as good as these Artist!

I had left my setting on partial night with a little light. Though it was cloudy out.

Above is a Literacy Building? on the next block.

This wall above and below is around a Garden Nursery - and yes Viola goes here also

This almost looks like Mosaic Tile - and Just think I make mistakes painting the color on one wall?

I could not get the building on the right in with out losing part of this picture and I should have been closer? But the building on the right was an old Sinclair Gas Station.

Older Building on Jackson Street.

The old and new combined in part of a Shopping Center on Tyler Street
