Winter Break

Winter Break started out with a day with Kelli and friends.  Off they went for a day of hiking and riding horses at Griffith Park.

They had so much fun that the day after (12/21), the whole family went back to Griffith Park to ride the train and ride horses.

We also went up to Malibu to a hike near Zuma Beach.

One chilly evening, we headed to Naples (Long Beach) to walk the canals and see the beautiful lights.

There were even a couple of Hanukkah houses.

"Oy to the World"

After the lights, we went to Lucille's for dinner and Gigi fell asleep on the bar stool.

Mama took Jordan and Gigi on the Culver City Metro to the Natural History Museum on a day when Daddy wasn't feeling well.

We became members!

We went sand sledding twice over break.  One time we meet J and his brother G.

As NHM members, we decided to go with our friends to the Tar Pits and the Page Museum.

In the afternoon, we went to the Zimmer Museum and flew an airplane.

And sold tickets to our show, among other things!

What a fun break filled with outdoor and indoor adventures!

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.

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!

Jordan's 10 month birthday

On Friday, Jordan turned 10 months old. We celebrated by going with my cousins to Griffith Park and riding the ponies. Jordan rode for the first time and loved it.
