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!

Field Trip to the Huntington

This week, we went to the Huntington with one of my preschools.  We spent a few hours in the Children's Garden. Luckily, we were given the heads up that there were water features and we all wore our bathing suits.

This instrument made very cool sounds when we dropped rocks through it.

This sand had metal in it and we were able to form sculptures on this magnetic feature.

The mist was so much fun to play in.  I lost my friends and couldn't find them in there.

What a fun "Butterfly Skip Day" at the Huntington.

Fieldtrip with Dad!

Today, my friend Tati came over with her Dad and the Dads and friends went on a fieldtrip. Mama quickly painted our nails pink and off we went!

Tim is holding a picture I made him this morning.

We went to MOCA (Museum of Contemporary Art) the unconventional way -- by train! (or at least unconventional in LA -- we go everywhere by car)

We went to see "Art in the Streets" at MOCA. It is an exhibit of graffiti and street art.

After a fun time at the museum, we went off to Little Tokyo for lunch. We should do this again, Dad!
