quick stroll in venice

This morning we had a lot of plans – stroll with the dog, trip to the library, then go get the groceries, nap for S and then a trip to the beach. Do I have to say that changed? (What are plans for, right?) We ended up playing at home for most of the day, and then took a quick stroll down to the park (the “Duck Park”) at Venice canals. It still surprises me how dark it gets relatively early – and how cold. OK, chilly… (I try to think of those people living in colder parts of US and world). We left the park earlier than planned (ha!), walked fast to get some dinner and then literally ran to the beach to get a few pictures of the sunset while waiting for the food to be ready. We had fun, and I got to play with my new camera some more (I did have to be fast with two kids running around)…

That was my baby today. Do I have to say how proud I was. In K and doing very well. And to think we were considering keeping him in pre-school one more year. His birthday is in October, but since the cutoff date in Dec 02, he could still start K before turning 5 yo. He is one of the youngest in the class, but he is was ready and is doing great! I believe it would have been a mistake to keep him in pre-school.

Also, I got to test my brand new camera (Canon Rebel). My birtday present – a huge surprise! Some images came out blurry – low light but I did not want to use flash – but the camera feels so good, and it is FAST! Anyway, here are some pics…

Malibu Bluffs Park – May 09

I am testing the ZenphotoPress plugin for Wordpress which allows for easy inserting pictures from Zenphoto to a Wordpress post. I am impressed how easy and fast it is. Click on any of the pictures to go to the full album.

I have only just setup Wordpress as well as Zenphoto, so I have only two albums up there. These are a few pictures from our little picnick outing to Malibu Bluffs Park. It was cool, the view was beautiful, kids happy. We like to go there, but don’t go as aften as it is somewhat of a hike to get up there on PCH.
