More Fun in LA

On Thursday afternoon, Mommy’s college friend Kate and her two daughters, Sadie (3) and Hattie (20 months) drove down from Santa Barbara for a swimming playdate. After swimming, we grilled hot dogs and chicken at home. You had lots of fun running around the backyard with Sadie and Hattie – here you are making silly faces in the big windows. On Friday morning, we drove to the Santa Monica Pier. While we waited for the rides to open, you had fun in the playground – look at you hanging like a monkey! Then we walked down to the water – cute profile shot of you looking out at the waves! And of us! At 11AM, the carousel opened and you rode it three times – you could spend hours riding the carousel but we had to be home by noon since Girlie had a lunch appointment with her goddaughter. While you napped, Mommy’s high school friend Lisa and her husband Rob dropped by to say hello and to meet Caden. At night, Mommy’s college friends Molly and Tanya also visited us – while Girlie watched Caden and you at home, we went out to dinner at a cute restaurant called Ford's Filling Station in Culver City.

Girlie starts her vacation with her family in LA tomorrow afternoon, so we're on our own for a few days before we fly to Minnesota on Wednesday morning.
