Day 5 CA

Peter made us coffee when we got to their house, and then Jen, the kids, Larry and I went to Huntington Gardens, a huge place with many gorgeous gardens and several art museums. They had an outdoor children's activity area where the kids could create portraits, and they had a lot of fun with those. Timothy especially liked coloring with markers on clear plastic walls.

We spent several hours there, then home to make homemade pizza on flatbread before watching the movie Moana. The kids were tired and were in bed before 7:30.
