Relaxing by the Palace

While visiting San Francisco again, Rusty and Razortooth decide that the lake by the Palace of Fine Arts is a nice place to take a dip and float around in the water. Them being two animals, a grizzly bear and an alligator, rarely seen outside of their natural environment, or a zoo, they get a lot of attention from those visiting this beautiful park! 8D

The Palace of Fine Arts was built in 1915 for the Panama Pacific World Exposition to celebrate the building of the Panama Canal, which is thousands of miles away, but San Francisco used it to show the world that the city was fully rebuilt and nicely put back together after the great Earthquake of 1906.

Playing at the Beach!

Jay, Glacier, and Walter all went to the beach together and Glacier got buried in the sand. Jay and Walter then started playing beach ball right over Glacier and having quite a fun time. Walter also brought a feather so he could have some more fun after the beach ball game! 8D

Rainy Day Strangers in San Francisco

Rusty is on a trip to San Francisco, where he just bought a scarf at Gump's department store and is carrying Walter along in the bag. He is walking up to his hotel up Powell St with cable cars passing along the way on a rainy day where he hopes not to frighten the people passing along him in the street! 8D

Clara and the Dancing Bear

This shows Clara from the Nutcracker having a good time with the dancing bear that her Uncle Drosselmeyer gave her a teddy bear that came to life and danced for her!

Of course that's my bear Rusty playing the part of the dancing bear and I dressed him up better than how the bear is usually shown as looking a bit too much like a clown for my taste so I put him in a Russian guard uniform. 8D
