Hangin' with the Big Dogs

Marlowe's BFF is one of my dear BFF's kids and both are the youngest of three kids, so we call them "The Littles." I decided that it would be awesome to take them to Pacific Park for Serena's party, too, and they seemed game for just about any of the rides and attraction.

This picture shows The Littles post-roller coaster.

Okay, so maybe they're still little.

Nina's Nine

My Serena ("Nina") is nine years old. This is what she looked like yesterday with her girlfriends at Santa Monica Pier (2nd from right in 1st pic, then in the middle of the next pic), riding a bunch of rides and partying 'til it was too cold to party any longer. So long, 8, but 9 looks awfully fun...
