California sun...

We spent a few weeks with Linda before the three of us headed up the coast.

 We hiked to the Hollywood sign on Saturday morning.

After our hike we visited Page Muesum at La Brea Tar Pitts. Tons of animals have been excavated including wolves, saber tooth cats, coyotes, bears, horses, sloths, camels, and mamoths. And by tons I mean over one million!


 We stopped at a funky little store after lunch and they had a lovely little art exhibit inside as well. Look at this picture closely, do you notice the squirrel stabbing the deer? Yes that just happened.

 Stephanie had a baby shower while we were there. I tried out some new cupcake frosting recipes and they were a hit. German chocolate and lemon with fresh raspberry icing. Linda made chicken salad sandwiches. The two ladies that put the shower together did an awesome job. It looked like a pinterest baby shower board exploded in the lady's house. It was lots of fun and Stephanie got tons of baby girl clothes which was just what she needed for baby Emery.

 We celebrated Linda's birthday early at the Carr's. We had burrellenos and a raspberry layered ice cream cake.

 We got to see this guy and Stephanie a lot. He has some pretty sweet dancing moves.

We went to the tide pools and beach one day after kayaking.

It was a pretty relaxing trip and nice to spend so much time with family and with each other. It was also nice that we got to eat insane amounts of Mexican food  :)
