Last weekend my dad, Clare and Sam came to visit us and meet Lily. Even though we originally thought the trip would just be laid back and relaxing, we ended up packing a lot into the weekend!
On Friday, they babysat the girls for me so I could get a much needed haircut. What a nice break for me! And when I came home everyone was happy and cheery! Then we took a trip to Target. Okay, so maybe Friday was more relaxing then exciting, but you gotta love Target! I should probably buy stock as often as I spend money there.
Saturday, my dad, Andrew, Ella, Lily and I went up to Kenneth Village, a little shopping area in our neighborhood. They were having a fall festival with food, drinks, bounce houses, and a children's costume parade. You can check it out through the Fall Festival video clips on our new movie website. If you watch the clips, see if you can spot Jaws and also the macaroni and cheese. We think they were the best costumes.
In the afternoon on Saturday we ventured over to Pasadena and walked around the Huntington Library and Gardens. It's a pretty cool place. They have vegetation from all over the world and orgranized the gardens so that you're walking through different areas. For example, there's the desert area, subtropical, etc. They also have an awesome Japanese garden with a koi pond and bonsai trees. BONSAI!
Sunday, Andrew took everyone (I stayed home with the kids) on a driving sightseeing tour of LA. Our usual trip: the studios, Hollywood, and then Rodeo Drive. Sam was in search of the most expensive pair of jeans he could find (not to buy, just to look). They found $650 at Dolce and Gabbana. I'm sure there are even more expensive jeans out there too! Sunday afternoon, my dad, Ella, Lily, Andrew and I went to a Halloween birthday party for one of Ella's playmates. There are some video clips from there also on the movie website.
Sam's birthday is on Halloween but we celebrated a day early and went out to dinner at Maurizio's Italian restaurant here in Glendale. It was Lily's first trip out to a restaurant. Aside from wanting to be held the whole time and not sitting in her carseat, she did great. Ella did pretty well too. ;-)
Monday we all just relaxed and hung out at home. And they made it back to MN safe and sound on Tuesday afternoon. Next up, we have Tom and Pat visiting this weekend!
Happy November everyone!
