Hope you guys are loving my influx of posts lately. Lots going on! I love the summer!

Sunday morning, Erika and Timmy and I decided to be productive and go learn something. So we headed to the California Science Center. They totally gear the exhibits towards children, but we totally loved it! Why is it so much fun to learn stuff?

The atrium is so pretty!

We went to see the Ecosystems exhibit. We could have spent all day in just that one section!

Each room was a different stage of life.

If I were a 10 year old boy, my favorite would be the Rot Room!!! It was so gross, yet exciting! hahaha

We loved the aquarium section outside. (PS. how awesome is it that you can have exhibits outside? I love LA)!

Here, you had to pretend you were a fish trying to grab food. HAHA
Erika and Timmy almost got some!

In the desert room, you could see how warm your body is compared to the rest of the room. HEE HEE. We were like little kids.

I’m pointing at myself. LOL

The aquariums were so cool!

Jellyfish!

This was in the LA Room. Hee Hee

After a fun educational morning, we stopped and got some lunch at a Mexican Restaurant called Chano’s. If you haven’t been there yet, you have to go. Mmm. We even got fresh squeezed watermelon juice!!! Wow!

Later on, we headed up to Universal Citywalk to see Inception.

I really liked the movie. It was really, really good. It had a few holes in it, but it was entertaining and the story was good. Not Leonardo DiCaprio’s finest (in my opinion), but a good flix for summer.

Love those Summer Nights!

Saturday night, Erika and Timmy and Ashley and JR and Irving and I packed up a picnic and headed to the Hollywood Bowl to see Planet Earth Live.

From their website:

Spectacular footage from the celebrated BBC television series Planet Earth is shown in stunning high-definition on the Bowl’s big screen, accompanied by the Los Angeles Philharmonic under the baton of the series’ award-winning composer, George Fenton. Together they will take you on an epic journey through the earth’s most amazing environments, featuring some of nature’s most mysterious and beautiful creatures.

But first…. THE FOOD!

Ashley made homemade Chicken Salad Sandwiches!

Erika made Baked Beans (that I tried and liked!) It was really good!!!

I made Pasta Salad!

What a fun picnic!

Oh you want to see us?

Ash and JR!

Erika and Timmy!

Irving and I!

YAY for Hollywood Bowl Picnics! Those are just the BEST!

I was making fun of Timmy because he ate the Pasta Salad… but left out all the veggies! That’s the best part! I ate them for him. I ❤ crunchy celery. I’m weird.

Erika’s Cookies… oh man, TO DIE FOR!

I mean look at those Chocolate Chips!

The show was fantastic. My favorite night at the bowl EVER.

The animals in it were SO CUTE! I especially loved the polar bears.

There was a cute little kid behind us asking every 5 minutes: “Is that the mommy? Where is the baby? Is the baby following the mommy?” Awe. Little kids love little animals. It was adorable.

Circus School! July 25, 2010

I know it’s every parents nightmare to find out their child is attending circus school. haha But that’s exactly what Erika and I did yesterday!

Flying from a trapeze was on my “things to do before I die” list, so I was WAY excited to try this out!

We took a class at Cirque School LA called Aerial Fitness.

It was down an alleyway in Thai Town in Hollywood, at first we thought we were in the wrong place!

But inside, it was really cool!! We did fun things like hang from trapezes!

Erika did way better than I did.

She was doing this crazy thing and then letting go!

And when it was my turn. I just laughed at the teacher. haha I was a teensy bit too scared for that trick. 😉

But I really liked the high trapeze. This one we got to swing from!

In the end, we were sore and sweaty in such a good way. It was SO much fun. I really want to go back and try those trapeze tricks again. I bet with a little more confidence and practice I can do them!
