Southern California Vacation -- Part II

Jackson and Luke chillin' in their matching car seats, on the way to the El Centro Fair.

Jackson's first pony ride. He didn't cry, but he wasn't too sure about it at first. By the end he was smiling and enjoying himself.

Chris, Jackson, and Matt petting animals at the fair.

Me, Jackson, Lucky, and Chris all packed up and ready to spend a few days in Vegas. We were all especially ready to spend a few nights outside of the motor home.

Jackson feeding carrots to wild horses and burros, with Simon and Kira Peters, in Ridgecrest. My cousin, MiriLou's, house in Ridgecrest was our last stop on our 2 week vacation.
