What southern Californians do on January weekends


Eat home-made Three Kings Cake
(the tradition is to bake a challah-like egg bread and put a small king's crown into one of the side rolls. The person who pulls it off and finds the crown is the King for the day. We used a Lego helmet)







Put Up Trampolines Under Orange-Laden Trees




Swing under Tangerine-Laden Tree



Watch Squirrels Demolish Oranges

  1. Sounds good. And who got to be king for a day? Do actual privileges follow beyond the mere title? And are they respected? I wonder.

  2. In Mexico if you find the baby jesus in the bread you have to host the tamale party or something like that.
    I'd rather be King, quite frankly and eat someone else's tamales.
    Beautiful pictures of a weekend in Southern California.

  6. love this post. and yes, would love to see pics of the trampoline in use!

    you know, i was telling my daughter about oliver purchasing a whole set of trophies at the yard sale and setting them up at the foot of his bed (we were watching the modern family episode where mitchell gets his professional trophy and cam puts his fishing trophy next to it, did you see?) and she just fell in love with oliver right then!

    i love how our lives touch here.
