We have established a Sunday afternoon habit of going over to the campus of Cal Tech. They have beautiful lilly ponds, turtle ponds and reflecting pools there. The kids love searching for frogs, tadpoles and crawdads. And we always have time to dip our feet in the reflection pools. It is a beautiful way to spend a late afternoon or evening.
Elias was quite startled the first time he realized that there were things living in the water! He is still cautious about getting to close to the water without having someone's hand to hold. Yesterday though he started pointing and yelling at the "rogs!" He also likes to watch the turtles from a distance and makes the sign as he yells "tut-ta." (He really prefers to yell when he speaks.)
It is such a blessing to have beautiful places that are easily accessible. We love this quality of living in Pasadena.

You are in a great area. I look forward to more Cal Tech walks with you folks. Our little tiny pond now has flurishing lilly pads and today the first water lilly opened - much like the one in your photo.

I love those little family traditions - the ones you don't even think twice about being a tradition. Great photo of Addi and Eli.
How fun. I love the photos!
