Amanda and Amber playing Wii.
Had to see the Hollywood sign.
Skye enjoying the girls. She had an awesome time and so did the girls.
Everyone loved her and she was a pretty good girl.
Some notes on the trip:
So on Saturday my son, his best girl, my daughter & son-in-law all came over to visit with our Florida family. The great nieces had never meet my son & his girl. We had a great evening and played Wii bowling tournaments against the families. It was so much fun.
On Sunday my sister and BIL took the girls to Laguna Beach. I took a day of rest. Then on Monday we went to Hollywood to do the Walk of Stars, it was super hot outside but it was fun. Did Santa Monica Beach and meet my son & his girl for dinner. My daughter was also with us for the day. She is a huge Michael Jackson fan. That was a super long day but we got to drive through Beverly Hills and Rodeo Drive which the girls loved.
Tuesday I joined them and went to Las Vegas for two nights. It was fantastic and I walked my butt off. I can't believe that my asthma was so good, only my legs hurt allot! We were laughing about our age and how much easier it is to do stuff with your kids because you are still young. It's a big difference doing it with grandkids! So the trip to Vegas was for Amanda who is a huge (B I G) Criss Angel fan. They had gotten 3rd row tickets for his show on Tuesday at the Luxor which is where we stayed. Amanda, Amber & my BIL went to the show. After the show my brother in law came to get me at 11pm so I could hang with Amanda in case Criss came out after the show. Actually he was out in front when we arrived. He was working with some of the special needs kids that came to the show and was giving them gifts from his shop. He is a very sweet man. Then the girls wanted to see him again so I went with Amanda and Amber to the show on Wed. night. It was a great show. Amanda was really sad that she couldn't stay for a signing at his store on Saturday.
We came home on Thursday and we did Knott's Berry Farm all day Friday. It was fun. We were going to go to LaJolla on Saturday but decided to take a day off before they left on Sunday. We had a fun day hanging out around the house and had a great steak dinner.
So Sunday I spent the day watching all my shows on the DVR. Today I am doing laundry and will start packing for Mammoth Lakes. I haven't been this busy in years! I have allot of pictures but since I don't share my kids on here I can't post them. (Amanda is going through allot right now with her parents divorce and she didn't want to go home. We cried allot Sunday morning. She is the sweetest girl and an excellent student.)
