Memorial Day with the Silver Family

We had a lovely Memorial Day with our friends.  Cannon and Ariel Silver and family are friends from South Pasadena and then like so many from S. Pas., they moved away.  We enjoyed having time to spend with them and having the chance for all the children to become reaquainted.

The boys gather materials for a construction project at the mouth of Malibu Creek.

 We spent some (not nearly enough) time at Malibu Lagoon State Beach.  We expected a cool breezy day and instead enjoyed a warm sunny one.

The 11 year olds discover that they are great pals (Nathaniel is holding a shark egg with a live shark embryo moving inside).

 Then we visited the Getty Villa museum in Malibu.  (Hey kids!  Let's pack up and leave the beach so we can go to a museum and look at Greek and Roman antiquities.  Yay!!!)

The walkway to the museum has a great view of the ocean.

My favorite thing about the Getty museums is that they are kid friendly.  Running? Jumping? OK!

How often do you get a chance to read in the garden of a Greek villa in Malibu?

See the boys on the walkway at the top?

We love to have visitors.  When are you coming back?
