He played for the longest the other boys took their time going in

Anderson was next in Ashten just sat by for a long time watching the other boys play. He was funny too, he would stand there and time it just right so that he could run into the middle of the without getting soaked. He stayed very dry for most of the time, this got many people's attention causing people to turn on their camera's (if they weren't on Ayden and AJ already.)

After helping me start some laundry (we stayed a couple of days longer than planned and ran out of clothes) the kids crashed. Aren't they too cute and cuddly.

This morning we got up and drove to Hollywood. I have never been there so I thought it was pretty exciting. It is not really a place kids would ever want to go, but we made it as fun as we could for the boys. The kids thought that it was cool to see the Stars on the Walk of Fame. Especially since some of them were "people" they would know like Mickey Mouse, Winnie the Pooh, and Donald Duck. We walked up and down Hollywood Boulevard for most of the day. We saw many interesting characters. Gene Simmons, Jack Sparrow, Superman, and a random jungle man with very little clothes (think Tarzan's loin cloth.) The kids thought they were pretty cool. Later in the afternoon a man talked us into going on the Hollywood Tour. We got to see many famous people's home including, Christina Aguilera's home which used to be the Osborne's, Michael Jackson's home, and my personal fave Lauren Conrad's house. We also drove down Rodeo Drive, and around other famous Hollywood spots. It was so cute because we would stop and look at these famous homes, which the kids didn't get at all. I thought they would be bored but Ayden thought we were just looking at nice houses so he would yell out every time he saw one that he liked, "Mommy, look at that house isn't it pretty."

After the tour, we were starving so we found a delicious Sushi place to have dinner. By the time we finished eating it was getting dark out and it is true that 'the freaks come out at night'. We stopped in an outdoor mall type place for some ice cream. Inside there was a huge fountain. The kids loved it and were running though it. Getting completely soaked! The boys had quite the audience. They made it to a lot of other people's home videos as they danced in and ran through the fountain. At home we wouldn't be able to get wet at this time of night because it would be too cold, but here it was still like a Washington summer day. The Californians probably thought we were nuts! Anyway, we made our way back to the car when they were done playing and got them into dry clothes, then we headed to our hotel that we had booked over dinner. It was a great day and so much more relaxing than the past week had been.
