Placerita Canyon Park

Sunday we drove literally across the street from our house to the Placerita Canyon Park to explore the trails.  We always see so many cars coming and going from there but we weren't sure if we could do the trails with Holly and how safe they were.  To our surprise, there were so many families out there hiking and they have so many trails to choose from.  The paths are clearly marked and the scenery is to die for, especially right now with the trees changing and all.  We hiked the trails 2 miles and decided we would come back another day and do the 5 mile hike to the waterfalls.  It was a great ending to our Thanksgiving weekend together.

What do we have in common with Hannah Montana?

We've got the Best of Both Worlds!!  Ha, did you get it?  Hannah Montana - regular girl by day, rockstar by night....Smith's got the cold weather one direction and hot weather in another direction!  I crack myself up sometimes!  Ok, I'm lame!

Seriously, this is really why SoCal is so awesome!  We went to the snow tubing park in Big Bear on Friday and then went to the beach on Saturday.  Where else can you do this?

HELP!!!!

Help!!!   MLP is taking over the world!!!

If you have a small female child in your house, then you know exactly what this is...My Little Pony.

Okay, I'm being dramatic...it's not taking over the world...just my house!!!

Don't believe me?  Then please see for yourself!

This is usually what I see when I walk into the family room.  I've been told Princess Celestia is giving them all breakfast.

Cupcake and Rarity greet me in the kitchen by my purse.

Cotton Candy seems to like my Fall decor.

Cheerilee keeps me company by sitting on my nightstand.

Dewdrop Dazzle keeps Scott company by sitting on his nightstand.

Lilly Blossom, Pinky Pie and Feather May sit on a table in the hallway and greet everyone as they walk by.

Fluttershy parks her scooter in Hannah's room.

Twilight Sparkle, Spike and Apple Jack play on Holly's nightstand.

Apparently, this is where Rainbow Dash lives...in the girls bathroom.

Star Song (on top) is visiting Cupcake (burried somewhere in the pile of clothes).

Friends in the forest

One of the best things about where we live is there is so much nature around us. Holly and I took a walk and explored a bit. Although we didn't run into any real animals....these were quite happy to sit and listen to The Grouchy Ladybug.

Can you tell I had a lot of fun with this little kiddo today?  And for those of you who are wandering....Yes, she did get a new My Little Pony after this session but I think $5 was well deserved, don't you?
