This Is L A
Well we have been here for a few days. The trip down was crazy, we camped one night and then we slept in the van the second night. After our first night of camping we drove up and saw Mount St. Helens. It was interesting to see and read all that they had made out of the mountain. Funny that such a tragic thing is now a tourist attraction.
We have been to Disneyland once already. We all went on the new Pirates of the Caribean ride. It has two drops instead of just one. I do not like either drop. Greg was not impressed with the drops either, but also he didn't care for the water part of the ride. We also all went on the Haunted Mansion ride. It was better for me.
Greg has seen the specialists and he now has coloured glasses that make the world look like it looks for the rest of us. His colour is blue. It is an interesting process and I might look into how to do that kind of work at least as a side job. It is neat to see people transform just by putting tinted lenses in front of them.
It was fun. We are going again Saturday. We have been to downtown LA and we saw some interesting things. We even saw some stars. Most of the stars were sports people that we didn't know. I suggested that they should wear their jerseys to these events so that they could be recognizable. Erica pointed out someone who look a lot like Sean Penn. He was just walking around in normal clothes, not dressed up like the people attending the awards show. We didn't stop and ask him if it was him or not, but we think it was. I also think that Martin Lawrence was attending these awards, all done up in a tux and all. He had an entourage with him. I guess we could find out, but I'm not into the ESPY's. Maybe sometimes I'll do some google searches from back home and find out or not.
We only have a couple days left but it has been fun. Haaken is enjoying his film camp and is going to make a movie at the end of the week. It will then be edited and put together and then mailed to us. His first short movie.
