November 1 - February 17, 2014 HOLIDAY ICE RINK, IRVINE, CA

History can be fun, and the Fall Back Festival is out to prove it!
Now in its 13th year, Fall Back is an annual children’s street faire held on the first Sunday of November (the end of Daylight Savings Time – when the clocks “fall back”) giving children and families the chance to “fall back” in time and experience what life was like in the mid- to late- nineteenth century when San Diego was a bustling new town.
Admission is FREE, but there are nominal fees required for some activities, such as the carnival rides.
Between old-fashioned festivities like pony rides and ice cream- and pie-eating contests, there are historical recreations and demonstrations with a “nineteenth-century” blacksmith plying his trade, prospectors teaching children how to pan for gold, butter churning and candle dipping demonstrations, and a Wild West shoot-out, to name a few. Kids absorb history by simply observing and participating – and they love it!
Cultural offerings are the other side of Fall Back. Native American and other folkloric dancers delight audiences of all ages. Children engage in Southwest Indian sand painting, Chinese calligraphy, model railroad demonstration, and a drumming jam session, all the while being entertained my magicians, musicians, and dancers. They will be intrigued by local Native American tales told by renowned storyteller Abel Silvas. Additionally, activities at the craft booths will provide the children with keep-sakes of a fabulous day.

Kids in attendance will get: (while supplies last)
FREE Hot Dog at Dick’s Last Resort Hot Dog Stand
FREE Root Beer Floats compliments of Smart and Final
FREE Chocolate Samples courtesy of the Ghirardelli Ice Cream and Chocolate Shop and a FREE Pony Ride compliments of Michael Dorvillier and Symbio Financial. The Gaslamp Quarter Historical Foundation wraps food, entertainment, and family-fun around a hearty helping of history and culture that will keep you coming back every year!

Hours: 9AM to dusk

Families wanting to pick pumpkins off the actual plant can realize their dreams at McGrath Street Pumpkin Patch up in Ventura.

The Valley’s agricultural college hosts one of the biggest Halloween festivals anywhere, and at the heart of all the corn mazes, haunted houses, hay rides, farm animals, and pony rides is a patch with pick-your-own pumpkins.

A favorite place to many has long been the unpretentious and inviting patch at the front of Temescal Gateway Park in the Palisades. Simon Meadow, as the grove is called, is a corner of the park controlled by the Palisades YMCA, and the pumpkin patch there is large, tree-filled, and fenced in – in short, perfect for a playdate. There is a big old rope swing hanging from a big old tree, inviting kids to swing out over rows and rows of pumpkins; no one counts how long or how often your kids visit the bounce house, and the annual scarecrow competition makes for great photo ops - as does the late afternoon sun filtering through the trees. Admission and parking are free, and pumpkin purchases support the YMCA.

562.596.7741
Hours: 10AM-9PM

There are pumpkins at this patch. It seems necessary to state that because one could forget - in the midst of the carnival rides, animal attractions, games, etc - that one came here to buy a piece of fruit. The pumpkins are, indeed, plentiful, and the accompanying entertainment and Halloween celebrations have been getting Long Beach families in the holiday spirit for years.

This is the most elegant car shows. More than 200 American and European classic automobiles assemble on the cliffs overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Will take place at the Trump National Golf Club.

The “Featured Car” at the 2013 Palos Verdes Concours d’Elegance will be this 1933 Duesenberg SJ Torpedo Sedan which wears a California license plate reading “20 Grand”, since that was the original sales price of the car. Part of the Nethercutt Collection, it was restored in 1979 and took top honors at Pebble Beach in 1980. It was originally built for display at the 1933 Chicago World’s Fair Century of Progress Exhibition.

This year's theme is the "Age of Elegance” by showcasing some of the world’s most luxurious classic automobiles. Featured classics include Rolls-Royce, Bentley, Duesenberg and the coachwork of Raymond Dietrich. The Concours will also recognize the centennial of Aston Martin, the 60^th anniversary of the Corvette, and the 50^th anniversary of the Loewy Avanti. Other classes will showcase post-war luxury cars, and a full range of sports cars. Preservation cars - automobiles that are in original and well maintained condition - will be displayed alongside the restored cars.

KIDS YOGA ON THE GREEN!!!!!

WEDNESDAYS 11am - 11:45am Americana at Brand, Glendale CA

If you have children ages 2-6 and even a bit older, then you should head out to Americana in Glendale, CA on Wednesdays. Every Wednesday from 11:00am - 11:45am they have kids yoga on the greens; and let me tell you it's a lot of fun. I've taken my girls and they loved it so much. They even got me to join in on the fun.

Afterwards, you can take them to Barnes and Noble which is within Americana, where they have a unique children's section. Children get to sing, draw, have a storytime and read delightful variety of children’s books. Starts at 12:00pm, which is perfect because you can go straight after yoga. This is such a great opportunity because children get to interact with one another, dance and play little musical instruments, which in return makes storytime much more interesting and interactive.

If you attend this event, please share pictures with us. We would love to hear from you and see the pictures.
