Our Weekend

It was a good one.

Colin had a soccer game and there was lots of skateboarding.

Alison won tickets to a play at the Turkey Trot, so we went to see 'Peter Pan'.

It was phenomenal and the kids are all asking when we can go see another production.  I realized that if ever there is a place to go see theater, it might be on the outskirts of LA and we will definitely be scoping out another show.  After the play, we found some Mexican food and discovered the Moorpark is the place to get good Mexican around here.

Our kids have not really seen any Disney movies, not for any particular reason other than lack of interest, so we watched the movie of Peter Pan the next night.

We also ventured up to Ojai.  We have only stopped for lunch there, on our way up to camping and we wanted to do some more exploring.  Our first stop was to get some coffee at Ojai Roasting Company and then the kids played at Libby park.

I have declared Ojai our new Flagstaff.  We all really enjoyed the day up there and it made us all start talking about when we'll go camping again.  Actually, Ben pointed out that both places have a Lawrence feel to them so maybe that's why we're drawn to them...Lawrence feel with mountain views.

We went to Ojai Olive Oil Compnay and the kids asked if we could just hang out on the property the rest of the day.  I couldn't blame them...I could have sat in the hammock chairs all day while they played in the trees.

The boys played outside while Alison, Ben and I went to taste all of the oils.  It was like wine tasting, but with olive oil.

They also had lotion and chapstick made with the oils.  Alison bought some chapsticks and we bought an olive oil and balsamic vinegar and they were with the trip alone...so yummy!

Our last stop of the weekend was to the mall.  Bath and Body Works has been calling Alison's name and we ended up at the Vans store buying some skating shoes...because apparently we're a skateboard family now.
