We decided to go hiking for the day.

"Take a picture of me daddy."

Making our way to the top, slowly.

Getting pretty steep, but we can do it.

Almost there and we still love each other.

We made it and it is beautiful up here.

On our way down, it is so much easier going down.  Just enjoying the view.

Our 1st camping trip in California, nice to get away from the city.

Lake Piru, north of LA, this is the beach close to the campground.

Lauren was having a great time in the lake.

First thing Emma said when she got in the water was, "there is no salt in this water Mommy."

Helping Dad get the fire ready so that they could make smores tonight.

Having fun at the beach.

Riding bikes along Venice Beach early in the morning.

They were alittle afraid of the waves at first.

But they made a friend quickly and started to enjoy the waves.  I had to pull them away from the beach because it was getting late and I knew the sun screen was wearing off.  Although it wasn't soon enough, both girls got sun burnt pretty good but they're doing ok.

Having some fun in our neighborhood.

Rode our bikes to the La Brea Tar Pits.  The girls have already been there for school so they told us all about it.

Went to the LA Art Museum.  They had fun running around in the street lamps that are in front of the museum.

They had their school physicals the other day and they were clowning around in the gowns that they had to put on.
