last weekend we took our girls to
ferndell park in
griffith park. it was their first visit there, and it had been years since i last went there. it was beautiful and luckily, it wasn't touched by the
fire at griffith park.

the sun cast such a lovely golden light!

this is the tumbling brook. my girls had fun tossing dead leaves and watching them float away down the stream. there were also several small bridges, and every time we went over one, the girls wanted to stop and play '
pooh sticks'. it was a really nice walk through the park!

my girls also recently watched the movie, "
kung fu panda" and they loved it so much! this is M doing her kung fu pose. she's a toughy, so we're thinking she might like to take some kids' martial arts classes. we'll see!
