What a packed day! Saturday started off with our usual pancake breakfast. Then we went to a nearby park with a recycling facility; that way LO got to play on the grass and playground and we got to dump our recyclables. After that, we headed over to the car wash. It was the first time [...]
We spent a sunny afternoon walking through Fern Dell is Griffith Park. The trail is short, flat, and beautiful—perfect for little kids!
