YUMMMMMM! So yes hike equals food, and as Amy says, which I am going to stick to as well, "I would have done it anyways but at least this time I hiked before!" I like it! So we attacked Red Robin, I mean ate at Red Robin and were FOR SURE the sweatiest and smelliest ones there, oh and should mention the only ones with dirt/rock ridden soaking wet sneakers on. But oddly we were still served and had a great lunch/dinner. Thanks Amy for the pit stop!
When we walked up to the falls these guys were rock climbing with ropes down the falls...CLEARLY unaware of the path! It's the last picture (because they are backwards, sorry). Then we took about 30 pictures because people who assumed everyone wanted to see them with their shirts off (and NO ONE did) KEPT walking through the background...and I was getting a bit frustrated, which was making Amy laugh and why she is laughing in the picture. Besides it all...the falls were so beautiful and perfectly freezing cold as we were so HOT!
This tall yellow flower is my favorite..it is so cool! So Amy found me one with this crazy plant on the bottom...two for one deal! This hike you have to walk through the water...no not ON water, we can't compete with Jesus, and honestly we didn't try.
Shadavia and I decided to start walking to get in shape and then also added to my 5K prep program. The other day we walked around downtown and Little Tokyo and took a break to go to the top of City Hall and take some pictures. It was an amazing view....city and mountains....interesting.
Zoe and Chloe got a new toy when Amy and I stopped at the cat store on the way home from our hike (not to mention the stop at Yogurtland for some hungry hikers). I got them a laser toy thing and this is them trying to figure out what it happening. It was funny to watch until I put it on the counter and Zoe tried to bit the counter and then looked confused why her teeth hurt...haha but not haha.
Amy and I went on a new hike, in Tonpanga Canyon (i think) and it was so pretty. Looking out over Santa Monica and then Malibu and it became very scenic which was good because the first part Amy and I were pretty sure we were going to die after vomiting and passing out. It was ALL up hill! Oh the houses were HUGE on the Malibu side and I am not sure you can see how big they were but it was unreal! Amy and I are getting ready to run one to a few more 5 K's and so we are walking, running, and hiking in preparation!
Jason made me an amazing gift! He always makes amazing pieces and so I was beginning to get sad that I hadn't gotten anything yet so low and behold I GOT A HANDMADE GIFT! I think he is so talented and here is more evidence. These are obviously candle holders and he twisted the metal himself and I think the look AWESOME. The color matches my apartment perfectly and i LOVE them. Thank you!
