We visited Malibu Creek State Park on Saturday. I’m getting smarter about bringing both balls and shovels & pails where-ever we go, and so the kids had plenty to occupy themselves. Actually, with her pail and shovel, DD is more of a menace to all walking. And with two pails, she had twice the amount of rocks and pebbles [...]
