Memorable days...

Yesterday was my birthday, the big 3-2! I woke up with a migraine (that had lingered over from the night before), so I doused my head with peppermint oil (one of the best ways to cure a migraine for me), took a shower, and had a yummy bagel/cream cheese breakfast (my breakfast food of choice as of late).

Then, we headed to the park to enjoy the blue sky and windy day in Thousand Oaks (just outside of LA). (To back up a little bit, we are staying with Owen Plant's parents, a friend of ours who is also on this tour up the Cali coast.) It has been a great little haven for the last two nights. We have our own room (living rooms are usually where we stay), a full house where we can cook our own food, a yard to play in, and a family who knows the area and can tell us where the best parks are. Oh, and they also have 2 grandsons near Ezra's age, so a plethora of "new" toys to play with and an attitude that enjoys seeing little hand prints on sliding glass doors.

Here is a glimpse of our morning at the park (photos courtesy of Cameron Hood)...

















Ezra then took a 4+ hour nap, while Ryan made me a scrumptious lunch and we lounged around. It was just the relaxing-with-the-family type of day that I love!

Before leaving for the concert, there was a special, and very delicious (wheat-free!) cake surprise...


Ezra loved blowing out the candles so much, that we had to re-light them at least 5 times.

The guys then all headed out for the concert, and Ezra and I stayed "home" to play and get a good night of sleep. We love seeing dada play guitar and sing, but getting to go to bed on time, is also a special treat we felt like we needed to take advantage of.
