Pine Cones!

Last week we had sunny skies and warm temperatures so we spent our afternoons outside. Some days we kicked the ball around, other days we blew bubbles but the day I enjoyed most was when Anna collected the pine cones.
 We counted them and lined them up by size...

Then we discovered the frisbee made a great way to collect our pine cones.



Dinner anyone??

Spring Break 2012

Anna was on spring break from school last week so we took off to California to meet Anna's new cousin Logan and to soak up some California sunshine! Here is Anna with Logan - this is the closest she got to him the whole week we were there! While Anna likes to talk about baby Logan she was very wary about going anywhere near him!
A swing with a view - no trip to Santa Monica is complete without a trip to the beach....
A perfect day for running in the sand...
And practicing our yoga!
Anna loves the beach!
We also took Anna to the La Brea Tar Pits while we were in LA. This was probably the highlight of the trip for her. Ever since that visit every time we get in the car Anna asks if we're going to see the dinosaurs.
 Anna's favorite dinosaur was the mastadon which she called an elephant. In front of the museum there is a display that depicts the mastadon stuck in the tar. The other day Anna was playing with the toy mastadon she got by laying it on its side and pretending that it was stuck. She kept telling me the elephant was stuck! Who got to to rescue the animal? Barbie!

After the dinosaurs we went to The Grove where Anna practiced her shopping...

And enjoyed her first ice cream cone from the LA Farmer's Market!
