California part 3- L.A. and the zoo

Monday we went down to Moorpark which is about an hour north of LA to spend the next few days with Mark's brother John and his family. They just bought a beautiful, HUGE home there and so we were lucky enough to have practically a whole wing to ourselves! The kids had such a great time playing together and we got a lot of great pics of them!
Blake and Darth?

Blake and Sam!

Sam's feminine side

Rex never took this outfit off!

Whitney being quite the ham!

The HUGE beanbag!

Wednesday I headed down to LA to spend some time with Emily, one of my best buds from Idaho Falls. She lives literally like 5 blocks from the temple which is just a hop and a skip away from Beverly Hills and Hollywood. She has been privileged to see many a random celebrities since living there and so she took me on a celebrity finding mission! Sadly, the weather wasn't so good and all the celebrities were hiding but we did have some highlights! We saw where Christina Aquilera lives (formerly the Osbournes house). We saw the studio where the rehearsals for DWTS take place. I got to see the infamous Chateau Marmont. And we ate at trendy Toast, where you Hills fans might have seen LC and Stephen dining just a few short weeks ago!

All in all a great time Em, thanks!
Thursday we went to the LA zoo. It was an absolutely beautiful day, probably the best we had so we had a great time. After the zoo we drove over to the Pacific Coast Highway for our return trip to Santa Barbara. This was the scenic route so we could see all the gorgeous beaches. We stopped on the beach in Malibu, it was gorgeous! I was hoping to see Britney or Jennifer Aniston but all we saw were some loud, obnoxious teenagers and a bunch of pelicans.
