Why We Love Venice

Seen on our ride back from Santa Monica Pier...

Sunny Family Day Sunday

Almost 80 degrees....January.

We are so lucky to live here in Southern California. Today, we ventured out to the Sunday Farmers Market. We haven't done that in quite awhile. We got going a little late because the buggy for Jordan who was close to his nap time had a flat and needed to be fixed.

So, we got to the market JUST in time for me to ride "Millie" (what we call Camille) one time.

After the market, we continued our bike ride down to the pier and rode the ferris wheel and couple of other rides. Here is our view from way up there.

Can you tell Jordan wasn't a huge fan of the Carousel? He was trying to figure it all out and when it got going fast, he started to cry....which is funny because even his first ride on a real pony, he wasn't scared.

We love family day Sunday.....except, that it is the day before the school/work days start over.

Martin Luther King Day Hike - Palos Verdes - Terranea

It was a chilly, but beautifully sunny day. We headed out with friends to Terranea....and we found prickly pear.

and rocks to climb on!

We tried to see far away, but even with our quarters, it didn't work.

Lunch at the restaurant made it a PERFECT day.

The Evidence

...of Jordan using the table as a stool to get to the light switch.

Jordan's Guitar Performance

The other night when Mama got home from work, Jordan was playing my guitar. He was so happy and proud of himself. Mama remembered when I first got it for my second birthday.

Princess Tea Party

After I finished painting my mini tea cups I received for Hanukkah, I had a princess tea party.

All my princesses got a spoon, bowl, tea cup and napkin

Fun times!

More January beach time

Last Sunday, it was gorgeous out (again)! We headed to the beach with our kites and friends joined us.
