Pancake breakfast at UCD

Last year, Melissa invited Paul and I to join her and some coworkers at the annual UCD Fire Department Pancake Breakfast fund raiser. We had a great time and didn't think twice about going again this year. We had a special treat this year...my dad joined us! Mom was off at the San Francisco flower show with her Red Hat Society group, so Dad decided to brave the Free-Republic-of-Davis and join us for breakfast!

We all enjoyed pancakes, hash browns, sausage, bacon, juice, and coffee with proceeds going to benefit the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. All proceeds went to benefit this wonderful organization, one very near to my heart, and patrons were in-turn treated to an insider's glance of the inner workings of the UCD fire station.

It was a beautiful morning in Davis, crisp and clear! After we finished our breakfast, we watched the little daughter of Melissa's coworker demo the trucks fire hose (yep, they had activities for the kids, too!) and then we waddled back to the dairy. It was a very good day!

Paul and I are so very blessed to have our families close and to be so very close to our families! What ever would we do without them?
