Weekend Rambling cont...

Our epic weekend continues… on Sunday, my daughter had a late call time of 4:00, so we were able to go to church.  Church was an amazing 1 hour and 45 minutes.  Although it ran 30 minutes late, no one got up and walked out.  It was so good.  I am blessed we found such a great church to attend while we are in L.A.  The pastor was very thought provoking and insightful and I was just blessed to be in attendance.
My daughter and I headed to set on Sunday evening.  I hit Starbucks for some coffee to make it though a long night.  We had "lunch" at 5:00 and then they got down to the business of shooting.  She was done by 10:00.  The set house was pretty amazing.  Here are some pictures of the back yard.

Notice the hot tub in the center.  It is private when the waterfall is running.   That is a slide down the right side of the picture

Looking the other direction.   There are two flat screen TVs hanging under the structure to the left.   There is a pool table under the sunning deck in the back center of the picture.   There was a outdoor entertaining area, with buffet and bar to the right.

The chandeliers are hard to see.   There are two over the table.   There was a chandelier in every room of the house, including the bathrooms!

Today we hiked Runyon Canyon.  It is a fun hike, I loved it.  Everybody and their dog is here, literally.  We were probably one of the few people there without a canine companion.  The kids love it because they usually get to say hello to a couple furry friends.  We hiked to the halfway point on one of the trails.  Here are the kids and Jason.

The trash can that was our stopping and turning around point.

Next we headed to lunch.  We ate a leisurely pizza buffet lunch at Shakeys.  I picked it purely because it had good yelp reviews and I liked the name.  It was ok for pizza.  Of course, I am comparing pizza from NYC and well, there is no comparison.  Next, we had an hour to kill before my daughter's fitting for a project this week.  We went to Target and I showed my husband the swimsuit I found.  After I tried it on, we agreed it was a keeper.

Finally, we headed to the fitting which was a kick.  The theme is retro.  All the clothes are from the 60's and 70's...seriously.  Someone had done some serious vintage shopping; these clothes were old, not new to look old.  The two options for my daughter were really cute.  She preferred the skirt option to the pants option, but truly both were great.  I would post pictures, but we are under a NDA so I can't.   The fitting went long, so we flew out of there to LAX to get my husband to his flight.  Thankfully LAX is dead on Monday nights, so he made his flight with no problem.

"You are awesome, O God, in your sanctuary; the God of Israel gives power and strength to his people. "

Psalm 68:35
