Night Hike in Eaton





Amy's mom was in town and we all went on a night hike in Eaton...it was more of an educational walk as the leader REALLY liked to stop and educate us, but it was nice. The moon was beautiful. And we took a picture of the NASA satellite that was passing the moon, but the picture didn't come out to well. Then on our way out we saw these ants eating this bug...oh nature can be brutal! Then we had dinner at Norms which was very yummy!

Hiking it up






Amy and I hiked a hike near her new place in Tarzana called LA Nike Missile Control Site and it used to be a missile control post...pretty cool because all the old stuff is still there. We walked through all the old stuff but really we were lost and couldn't find the path to hike on...yes we ARE in grad school but hiking paths can trip us up too! So here are some shots, but some moments were kept out of the photographs, due to "professionalism" haha.

Eaton Falls!





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!

On the hike to Eaton waterfall...





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.

Hike is ON!





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!
