HAPPY APRIL FOOL'S DAY

Poor, dear, silly Spring,
preparing her annual
surprise!

Guess what we stumbled upon today on our day trip to Mendocino? The Parade Of Fools !
It was about 5 pm and we were just returning to our car after climbing around the bluffs above the beautiful Pacific Ocean and we heard some yelling and laughing and beating of drums. And there they were.......a parade of fools! So funny and inspiring. Some were dressed up and the kids were having so much fun! It made you want to just join right in! The woman in purple seemed to be the ringleader and she was asking the "fools" to tell silly jokes. It was windy and I tried to get a good pic of their sign without much luck.
Here they come!
The sign-holders (so cute!) waiting for
the rest of the "fools".


Everyone catching up and telling jokes.

Onward to the next block and inside they went to
Out of this World, a store that sells
binoculars, telescopes and science toys.

I wished I had gotten a group pic, but I was in such a state of surprise that I was dumbfounded!
Hopefully I will post a couple of ocean pics tomorrow.

HAVE A DAY FULL OF HUMOR!
