Our relaxing Labor Day Weekend

We started out the weekend with a beach morning on Saturday.  The waves were huge.





We had friends over for a barbecue on Saturday afternoon, including Allen's famous ribs.


We went for a bike ride (kids) and walk (the rest of us) up the boardwalk to the skate park.  Gigi (and Jordan) were offered to get on the 4x4 police "car" but Jordan was too scared.




We watched the skateboarders from high up (well some of us did)


On Sunday, we went back to Mother's Beach, both the park and the beach and Jordan saw the Water Bus....of course, he insisted we board the bus, so off we went to Burton Chace Park.  Gigi and Jordan gathered up pieces of the trees in the park (they look like snakes).


Of course, nap time is always part of our day.  Jordan just loves his Daddy.


Today, we made our own bubbles to refill our bubble wands.



Here are pictures of our new walkway in the garden and the beautiful garden in bloom.



We picked and ate many raspberries from the garden.


And, there are some habaneros growing but not quite ripe yet.....we were hoping for some jerk chicken this summer but looks like it will be a fall event.


On Saturday morning, we went to a yard sale and picked up all of these "legos".  We built a few houses with them, including a roof on this one.


This afternoon, Gigi spelled a bunch of words on the fridge, including "Cat", "Hat", "Rat", "Bat", "Fat", "Fit", "Hit", "Pin", "Pink", "Zoe" and "Jordan".  She is learning fast!


A perfect afternoon for some painting...


And more letter practice "Lemonade" for the lemonade stand she painted


Little brother got involved in the fun


And, we ended our weekend at the park for an early evening romp, including dinner at the park.

Summer Biking


Jordan and I have been doing a lot of bicycling this summer.  Both on our own bikes and also in the Burley, on the trail-a-bike and in the front seat (Jordan).  We have gone down to Santa Monica for dinner, to Farmers Markets and around the neighborhood.


Jordan loves to be in the front seat as he can see all kinds of moving vehicles and boats.  We rode through the construction zone in Santa Monica and there were more diggers and tractors than we could count.  One night, he saw this speed boat come out of the water and then saw the Sheriff's water taxi.

Farmers Market Sunday On My New Bike!


Jordan rode along with Mama and I was on the back of Daddy's bike on my NEW bike! I love it. I get to peddle or relax if I get tired. No more bike seat for me!



I got a beautiful unicorn painted on my face at the Farmer's Market and Jordan crawled around while listening to the band.


And, then another Sunday nap with my Jordan.

Mama gardened while we napped, but Jordan didn't nap for LONG!

Farmers Market Sunday by Bike (yet again, but with friends)

On Sunday, we invited Merrick and his Mom and Dad to the Farmer's Market by bike. Well, actually, we invited them on a bike ride and the Farmer's Market was my idea as we were just approaching it along the beach.

Bonus! Not only were there ponies but there was also a petting zoo and Jordan loved it!



After the market, we rode back to Venice for lunch, but I fell asleep. After lunch, Jordan also fell asleep!
