A moment of Zen

Sunday Gabe and I and the kids met up with john and Kirsten and the kids and took a much talked about trip to CSULB to check out the Earl Burns Japanese Garden.

Gabe graduated from CSULB and always from the time I have met him told me about the garden and quite a few times we have went to go but it would be closed. Anyway FINALLY after all these years I got to see it.
it is smaller then I expected but it was very beautiful

Gabe and I actually considered getting married here but they had way too many rules.

Ofcourse we had to feed the Koi

Ava walked right into the pond at one point and got her shoes Soaked. Luckily she didn't fall in!

A lot of stimulation for small ones

Parker said the place was full of Peace.

By the little meditation room.

Ava and Johnny

It was really perfect weather too.

Ava just had to climb the rocky stairs....

lots of Zen Gardens

The Gals

The Guys

Ok nap time was amongst us and it was soon time to leave but first not without one last stop to feed the koi

AVA just would not pose for a Pix..she just wanted to run right back into the pond

This big white koi is a pig!

I just love ponds. This was a nice little short day trip to take the kids. I really think they enjoyed themselves.
