Visiting with the McClellans 3 '09

We arrived in San Diego in time for Bruce to Join David and Ryan at Ryans Cub Scout Meeting
David is the pack leader and  he is helping the boys prepare for the box car derby.

The next morning they had a special treat for us.... a St Paddys Day celebration at Balboa Park.
It started with a military parade,
that morphed into marching  bands,
then the fire department  came along with their antique trucks and sirens screaming
And of course the local police department had to get in the act with their paddy wagon.
There were other smaller parades all around, like this band of rogues  going through the picnic area.
 or Irish gypsies camped out on the lawn.
Ryan loved exploring their tent
Dylan got his face painted
Both the boys scarffed down icecream
while Laura and I tried on hats.
 There's so much to see and do in Balboa Park it is hard to know where to begin
 but eventually we wound up near the conservatory.
By that time everyone was feeling a bit tired
 
Even Bruce was dragging his heels
Time to go home
