Flowery Sunday

We had a VERY fun day today. We were planning on going wildflower hunting and then Mommy read that it was going to be very windy (15-25 mph winds), so we decided to go to Malibu instead. Then, at the last minute, a neighbor told Mommy that the flowers were close to peak, so we went anyway. It was beautiful from the car, but I only went out once because it was SO windy.

We saw California poppies and coreopsis.

And lupine (the purple flower)

And, then on the way back, we stopped at McDonald's for my first time at the Playplace. Mommy was thinking about Leigh's story of going there with Sonia, but we really HAD to go somewhere because I was getting antsy in the car. It was too windy to just hang outside and we didn't know where there was a park, so the Playplace it was. And, I had a blast. (If you want to see last year's pictures, click on "wildflowers" under the tags on the right. This year, we went to a different area so there wasn't as much orange. We might just have to venture back next weekend if it is less windy!)

Then, shortly after we got home, Bryon and Safia came to visit and we went to our neighbor's house to celebrate Michael's birthday! Here are "the guys" barbecuing.

And, me eating corn

And, here's Safia! She was so sweet with me and fun to play with.

A little art before dinner...

The birthday boy and his sweet wife, Lisa

And a beautiful flower from Lisa's garden as the centerpiece. Very fragrant. A lovely end to a wonderful day.

I Love Poppy (no, not Daddy)....Poppies!

Today, we went to the Poppy Fields up in Lancaster. It was a gorgeous day and we got some amazing photos while we were there. Mommy told me that I would be impressed with all of the orange, but who knew it would be so beautiful.

For lunch, we went to the cheese store in Studio City....here I am sitting on a goat. And, then we went for a long walk to the beach and Abbot Kinney while Mema and Pepa rested.
