The Spectrum

Em lives a few exits from this awesome outdoor shopping mall called the Spectrum. After hibernating in her house for a few days due to the ridiculous temperatures, we finally bucked up and left the coolness to go walk around. It was after six, and the weather had calmed down a little so it was much more pleasant.

Em took so many pictures of Clare and Lia at the Spectrum and I've just got to go through and post them, but here are some.

There is this little area where water spouts from the ground, its really cute and fun and it was jam packed with kids. This is Clare watching Lia and I.

Watching the fountains. Look at the cute Buddah baby in the background. :)

We got Golden Spoon Frozen Yogurt, which is to die for. SO good!
And I gave Lia a little of the strawberry which she seemed to like. :)

Yum!

This didn't turn out quite as I wanted it too, but this was one of the many fountains at the Spectrum. I love all of the fountains- it seems like there are always tons of fountains in Southern California... something we don't have in Northern Cal. :(
But yeah, I like this picture now, its different. :)

Another of the fountains.

This is a shot from Emily's favorite store 'Anthropologie'
Not sure if I spelled that right...
But its a really neat store, very hodge podge but lots of fun to look around

Most of the Spectrum is draped in this fabric with the lights inbetween. Its gorgeous when its dark outside. :) Really romantic and fun, or as Em described it "like an outdoor carnival"- they also have a ferris wheel and merry-go-round. Anyhow, I told Em, it would be a great date spot. :)
