These are pics of "One Mile" in Bidwell Park, which is the biggest park west of the Mississip. The old Robin Hood movie with Errol Flynn was filmed there.
It is the beginning of the park, and where the river flows in, they cemented off a huge part to make a swimming pool. So it is a river swimming pool. It's pretty cool, also, there is tons of park room to play. Most things take place at one mile, but the trail (cemented, wide, for biking, blading) goes on for many miles and ends in more swimming holes, like "five mile" swimming hole.


Here's where the river comes out. It was crowded that day, hottest day the whole time I was there.



Here's more the other end of the big pool.


Here's the park part. Notice all the kids and strollers. You need a special "party passport" to get into Chico if you have no kids and are over the age of 27. lol.


Here's me under water


Here's Rain at the park.


Rain took this of me without reminding me to suck in my fatass stomach, so...


I took revenge on her by snapping this one of her ass. Only it wasn't that much revenge cause she's a size four, and I'm a size 10. lol. I tried..


Here's us at her birthday dinner on Saturday. In this photo, she scores 3 glasses of wine, and I score 1/2 of a huge pineapple margarita. I also score dorkily declaring that it is Stevie's bday, too, way more times than any normal person should. So, 2 times. hehehe. Luckily I did it in a subtle way so as to retain some lingering ounce of dignity I may (or may not) possess. Jealous? Thought so. *hums* "fat girl in a little dress..."


Here's Stevie, sans pimple this time. I think I told someone that my tattoo should get free drinks cause it's her birthday too. Hopefully not too loudly. lol.

Amber, I think you look gorgeous. I don't think I knew you had that awesome tattoo? Glad you had such a fun vacation.

Usually I'm not that grumpy looking, but thus is the situation when I am at my Mom's grave!!!

I know, you totally bonded with that pimple. BFFWP!!! It's okay, I'm sure there will be another. Maybe in time for your birthday!!! Maybe you could write a song..."How Still My Pimple" or..."Pimple Changes" or..."Edge of Giant Pimple"...

Thank you! Very sweet. I just got the 'too in April.

How weird, that's what I thought about your pic, too. Then I realized that crocodiles don't wear big hats. Whew!

I was actually being serious. I had to do a double take, at first all I saw was, which I assume is your arm, what looked like a crocodile's mouth. And then an eye on the top... I was thinking, what are those weird people doing swimming with crocodiles?

Oh. That's pretty funny. We don't have crocs here. Not naturally, I mean.

BTW, your pic is actually really cute. Like, hottie on the ledge alert cute.

Amber - great summer swimming pics, as usual.

Brian - I thought you had posted that pics before. And I'd look grumpy too if I were you.


Before a wedding this past Saturday:

[amber]

Look, It's Hot Paula! You look really cute, but now that you are at your goal weight, I expect those dresses to get a lot shorter, missy!!!

I like those f*ck me ankle strap shoes.

And I'm pretty sure Brian's picture looks the same because although it is new, it is exactly like the old pic.

I look the same 2 years later, and the picture is very similar to the first one I posted (The one with my USC hat & Fender t-shirt)

Thanks everyone! I love the dress too - I actually saw it at Kohl's a couple months ago, but it was in the junior's dept so I kind of blew it off & assumed it would be too young/hoochie/unflattering for me. So when I went to look for a dress (all of mine are now too big - woohoo!) for the wedding & it was still there, I had to try it on. Oh, and it was on sale.


Here's one more. Mark's best friend with his eyes closed & his wife (it was his sister that got married) with Mark & me. It was 85 degrees so I didn't make him wear a suit. He was thrilled.
