We Saw The Shuttle Endeavor (Again)

When watching the news Friday night and looking at how cool the Shuttle Endeavor looked on the streets of Los Angeles I was thinking that I should have made an effort to go see it. I had an appointment on Saturday and David was going to be at the UCLA game so I figured Saturday was out as well. The Shuttle was due to be at Exposition Park at 8:30AM last night but it was significantly delayed and they ended up saying it would be there by 4:00AM. To make a long story a little bit shorter when we woke up this morning it was still almost 2 miles away from it's final destination so we decided to try and go see it. 

I really didn't think we would get very close but we made it and it was awesome! It was crazy to see it just headed (VERY SLOWLY) down the street. The shuttle would have to stop so the tree trimmers could cut specific branches allowing the shuttle to get by and the police were emphasizing that they needed every inch in spaces so people in specific areas would have to move. The girls (especially Brooke) really liked seeing it and we were all glad that we made the effort. It was definitely one of the coolest things I have seen. Mom was there but is not pictured since I think all of the pictures with her in it were on her camera.

A Trip To Oak Glen

Every year we make a trip up to Oak Glen for Apple Picking. This years trip included Mom, Rachel, Sydney, Brooke, Elizabeth, Nathan and Kiersten. What a great surprise that Brooke took off her shoes before we left the house and I didn't notice. Every child should walk barefoot through an apple orchard in 47 degree weather.

It was a good trip that included apple picking, apple cider, homemade donuts from Snowline and a great time hanging out.

Christmas Eve 2011

In January I was distraught over the loss of an SD card that included all pictures post my birthday-mid January. The devastation was huge and I searched everywhere even going through the trash piece by piece to ensure it wasn't thrown out. I was convinced it accidentally got sucked into the housekeepers vacuum cleaner. A couple of weeks ago David found the card stuck in the dryer! It was washed once and it's gone through the drier probably 60 times but all the pics were there! With that, I bring you Christmas Eve 2011 :)

The La Brea Tar Pits

Despite reports on "Who Has More Fun" I thoroughly enjoyed the La Brea Tar Pits! I will plead ignorance as I always thought it was just some smelly Tar Pits and I didn't know it was an archaeological treasure trove. It was fascinating-mom has been trying to get me there for awhile and I will admit I wasn't looking forward to it but I will likely go back! See Who Has More Fun for details.
