visit to LA

Tuesday we headed up to LA to visit my sister and her family. We stopped at Griffith Park on our way up because Liesl has been talking about riding the ponies. She tried to ride them a year ago, but said the saddle was hot and didn't want to go. This time she picked out the pony she wanted to ride and loved it. She wanted to go again, but Porter was anxious to ride the train, so we did that. The train ride was fun as always and after we went to the park for lunch before continuing on.

Wednesday we went to Placerita Canyon where the kids were able to play in the stream. They were wet when we left, but they had so much fun, stomping in the mud and building a dam. Wednesday evening Henry told my sister that he wanted to have a fun day the next day, so we made a little map of the complex. The next morning I took the kids on the walk while my sister buried envelopes of money that they used at Target to buy a toy.
