Our Last Week in LA!




Jess and Theo and the kids went to Peekaboo Playland in Eagle Rock, a great indoor space full of toys and equipment for kids to play with and on. Maddie and Max loved this slide attached to a bounce house.





The only rule was "no shoes!"--but Max was so in love with his new shoes that he carried them around with him from activity to activity.

Wednesday night Sam and Jess took us out to a fabulous restaurant in downtown LA which served Spanish/South American cuisine. We all had the tasting menu--so for about 3 wonderful hours we were brought plates and plates of tiny amounts of delicious and different food with wines on the side--gazpacho in small glasses to begin with, lamb, pork, chick peas, Peruvian potatoes, a huge scallop each, much more and then three different flans for dessert. Thank you so much Sam and Jess!




Last night Toby and Tulip and I babysat the kids to give the tired parents one more night away. Maddie built high towers with her lego-like blocks.




No one thought about eating tangerines until Toby started peeling one, then they became an instant hit.




And, of course, the star babysitter is Tulip--who endured many pats and excruciating near encounters with food she would have liked to eat, and finally, being put to bed like a baby and covered all up. She didn't go to sleep then but now, back at the Woodward's, she's is sleeping it off--just like a wise, old baby.
