Frank and Holly are really excited to see The Pit Stop up and running, especially with it being a short walk from their house and having fun activities to help them while away the long winter days.
Playing pool is quickly becoming one of their favorite pastimes.
Frank's brother Raymond is still looking for Ms. Right. He's got two girls he's interested in, but hasn't made a decision: Katie Jackson (the one he's talking to) and Cydney Speegle, the one noticing he's talking to another girl.
Of course Raymond would probably have an easier time if he wasn't constantly seen around town in "bot mode." (What a nerd!)
I think little brother Buck, in the background, is a bit embarrassed by his big brother.
He and Tracy Callaway met at the bakery to work on a school project together.
Could this be love? Only time will tell. I left the Carranza family and went home with Tracy to see how the Callaway family is doing.
Little sister Nandini was going to have her teen birthday the next day, so Coraline arranged for a teen party at the Lighthouse Amusement Park. (I don't have the rollercoaster content, so I made a few adjustments.)
Most of the teens went off to play leaving Nandini to blow out her candles with only a few people in attendance. But who can blame them? There are so many fun things to do here.
That's better, here they come.
Both girls definitely have their father's face! I don't see much of Coraline in either of them except for Nandini's hair color.
Frank, that's probably not the best example to set at your teen daughter's birthday party.
See what you started? For the most part, however, the teens were into having some good clean fun.
The carousel, apple bobbing, climbing wall, etc.

Frank, a workaholic, seemed to get a little nervous at the end. He told Coraline that he needed to leave and get some things done before morning. Frank does try to have some fun sometimes. Frank Carraza and Holly Dawkins invited him over to a party, so he thought he'd drop in for a bit. What a mess! What is this? A food wasting party?
Frank Callaway tried to use some of the cast off food trays to make some hotdogs, only to be scolded by Frank Carranza! "That food is on the floor for a reason!" he exclaimed.
"Yeah!" another party guest exclaimed. (I forget her name.) "You are supposed to dance in it, like this!"
"Yeah, Frank, get with the program! Haven't you ever been to a dancing in the food party before?"
Frank and Holly can be so weird sometimes.
I guess another component of these types of parties is sharing recipes.


"Okay, I guess I should declare every February 18th as "Dance in the Food Day." Frank thought.
I've been meaning to drop in on James Russell for awhile and have finally gotten around to it. James had moved from the Coast Guard boat to the fisherman's cabin, and then to The Modest Mayflower.
James loves to swim and boat, and is handy, athletic and brave. It's a wonder he's still single, but I guess he just hasn't met the right person - or maybe he has, but his love is unrequited. While James is best friends with Kao, he is still crushing on Jessie, Kao's wife. There's more than one song out there that addresses this conundrum. James doesn't live entirely alone, however. He has a little furry buddy named Zeke.
James is a police officer and the unfortunate partner of Myra Burkhart. It seems he hasn't been assigned a new partner just yet, which is a bummer as he really needs to improve his relationship with his partner to help him advance in his career.
He and Zeke went to enjoy some time at Loggerhead Sands one evening.
Frank Callaway approached him to discuss work. To be fair, it looks like James was technically on duty. Zeke managed to meet a new friend.
I'll leave off with a few random shots from around town.
(Myra before her demise.)
