4th of July weekend.

My granddaughter Avery and I at the Ojai 4th of July Parade.

 

Celebrating beaches, parades and our American heritage of wild land and horses.

Barry and I took Avery to the Rice Rd. horse stables to visit the horses. We had a great time with a 6 year old horse Deuce who was preparing for practice with his owner for the Santa Barbara Fiesta Parade in August. The owner said she put her niece on a horse at the age of three. Oso Rd. has a wonderful horse camp for kids with Sue Gruber. I'm hoping Avery will still like the big animals  when she is old enough to reach the stirrups. Avery was darling to watch with Deuce, when we left she yelled and waved to the other horses in the stables BYE!!! I'm not a horse owner, it's a big commitment and lifestyle, but I've enjoyed riding friends horses and I did go riding on the beach in the waves with a friend who's ranch happens to be located on the water. Ojai & Ventura is great country for riding.

Debbie Godrey shared photos of her ride at Bates Beach at the RINCON,  Ventura.

Debbie Godfrey  Moe's first time playing in the waves with me. She was so ready to leap back out of the water, but then once she got used to it, she was riding the waves with the rest of us! Quick learner.

Libbey Bowl - Ojai, California

 
Originally built in Edward Drummond Libbey Civic Center Park (1952 - 1957), the shell was designed by architects Austen Pierpont of Ojai and Roy C. Wilson of Santa Paula. Originally known as “Civic Center Bowl,” and “Festival Bowl,” among other names, it became known as “ Libbey Bowl” in the 1980s after Civic Center Park was given to the City of Ojai and renamed Libbey Park.
Inaugurated by Aaron Copland at the 1957 Ojai Music Festival, Libbey Bowl has hosted many of the world’s most influential artists. In addition to serving as the home of the internationally acclaimed Ojai Music Festival, Libbey Bowl has housed important community and cultural events including the Storytelling Festival, Illusions Theater, Fourth of July Celebration, Memorial Day Celebration, Mexican Fiesta, and many others.
