A few weeks
ago, when we were between heat waves, we took the kids over to Griffith
Park for some horseback riding. The venue is great, we've been there before.
But this time, Ahgoo got to ride the slow horse all on her own!
I was so proud of her. For $3, you get to ride around the
tracks twice. Buzz, of course, wanted to ride the fast horse.
Ahgoo was pretty stoic during her entire ride. She looked
poised and in control. But after she got off, I asked if she
enjoyed it and she replied, "No..." Haha, she's such a strange
little girl. Buzz rode twice.
| I was more excited about her ride than she was!

| Ahgoo looked so poised and grown up!

|
 | I was so proud that she rode around twice all on her own!
 |
 | My little princess.
 | Buzz loved the fast horse.

|
Having a great time!

Last year we
learned that peacocks molt. Well, we thought that they do so in
the fall time frame...which means September to October right?
Well, turns out that they molt much earlier, in August to be
eact! We discovered this quite by accident, on one of our weekend
walks to the local library! On that day, we took Toby for a pinic
at the park by the library. When we were there, a peacock
strolled by. He has already lost much of his tail. We
picked up several beautiful feathers that were just lying on the grass!
We were so lucky because we saw a few groups of people wandering
the neighborhood in search of these amazing feathers.
So
what else happens in August besides peacocks molting?? First day
of kindergarten for Buzz!!! Oh my, what a big day. But he
has been so ready for kindergarten that he was not the least bit
nervous. His pre-school models their curriculum after
kindergarten so the transition was easy for Buzz. After the first
day, he already made three new friends. We're happy that he loves
school so much. As for Ahgoo, she was not a bit phased by the
fact that her brother is not at her school anymore.
| Toby was in a happy mood to join us for a nice walk!

| We had an unexpected visitor at the picnic.

Before we jump
into September, I have to show you all of the things we've been doing
at the end of August! Mr. BAW celebrates a birthday so we headed
down to our Aunt's house where she watched the kids, put us all up for
the night, and even made us a delicious breakfast of ebleskivers, a Danish pancake dish. I took Mr. BAW to the Selanne Steak Tavern
in Laguna Beach. I had given Mr. BAW a few restaurants to choose
from and he, of course, picked a steak place. But neither of us
knew that it is actually the hockey player "The Finnish Flash" Teemu Selanne's
restaurant! Mr. BAW realized it when he spotted a replica of the
Stanley Cup inside the restaurant. The dinner was excellent!
The steaks were awesome and the place is beautiful. We had
a wonderful time over dinner. Due to the restaurant's
location, we were able to take a nice stroll along Laguna Beach before
dinner. Overall, it was a wonderful weekend. The kids got a
yummy spaghetti meal and a walk down to see a mini zebra at the local
stable while we were at dinner.
| I had about four of these for breakfast...at least.

| Beautiful Laguna Beach.

| Birthday dessert .
