Fall River Mills

Six days after the big move(are we crazy or what?!), we went on vacation with my family. Our first stop was Fall River Mills, CA. My dad grew up there, and it was fun to see where he went to school, where he played football, where he lived, where he hung out, and the elementary school where my grandpa taught. Here are a few of the highlights:

After our visit, we now all have "Bulldog Pride"!

This was the sign in front of the high school...I found it amusing.

Fall River Elementary, where my grandpa taught.

"Get me off this thing!!!"

Me in front of the ER where I got stitches when I was five, during one of our camping trips to Lassen.

The old Fall River Homestead (the trees in front have grown quite a bit, so I couldn't get a very good shot of it.)


This is the "Bulldog Bite", a place right across the street from the high school where you can buy concessions.

Where my dad played high school football.

It was a lot of fun to learn more about where I came from. Even though we'd visited Fall River when I was younger, I didn't remember much of it, so it was fun to get to see everything again.
