Bobby's brother came by to visit a couple of weeks ago. Graham and Charlie were so excited that Uncle Doug was coming by for the weekend! We took him to visit the resort next door for a morning:
It was a perfect day for some crab viewing by the tide pools:
The boys took the opportunity for some art that is set up occasionally during the weekends at the resort:
Not too shabby! This one is Charlie's:
And this one is Graham's:
Later that day, we are off to "Crepe Street" for some beach time:
And for some crepe of course! :-D
The next day, we are off to the Dodger's Stadium!
Thankfully traffic wasn't too bad so we arrived pretty early. There were already so many people walking in!
Time for a we-fie!!!
The kids got some pretty nifty sweatbands. I am jealous!
As usual, it is nacho chips for Graham:
Cotton candy for Charlie:
And some yummy pulled pork on yummy Hawaiian sweet bread for Mommy. YUMMM!!!!
Can't forget to take a photo with the Dodgers Dog:
As usual, every game starts with the National Anthem. I like how Charlie puts his hand on his heart - just how they do it at school. But yet, he is still holding on to his pretzel with his other hand. Ha ha!
These seats are awesome!!!
It is basically a snack fest for Graham and Charlie. I have to say - that frozen lemonade was pretty darn good:
We take a break halfway as it does get quite hot sitting in the sun. And it was only 76F!!?!
Who knew the Dodgers actually started out in Brooklyn!
Graham has some soft serve ice-cream and oh, Charlie did have his churrrrrrrrrrrrros too. We kinda actually miss that guy back at the Arizona Diamondbacks stadium!
The people sitting next to us forgot their mist-spraying fan. I finally let Graham use it after waiting for about 20 minutes. And just about 5-10 minutes after that, one of their kids showed up to claim it. Bummer!!! Ha ha!
The people in front of us decided to leave, so our seats get even better :-)
What an AWESOME day with Uncle Doug!!!
On the way out, we take photos with the Tommy Lasorda bobblehead. Lasorda is an American baseball icon - successfully managing the LA Dodgers from 1977 to 1996.
Photo op with the Golden Glove:
After the baseball game, we head out to Chinatown for a bit. There wasn't much happening other than a quick photo with Bruce Lee:
So we made a couple more turns and ended up in little Mexico on Olvera Street. Unfortunately, I don't have any photos because my camera ran out of battery! There was definitely a lot more going on here - there were restaurants and also an open market selling gifts, clothes, shoes, and lots of knick-knacks. We did pick up a little baby guitar for the boys although we are having a tough time tuning it. Guess we got what we paid for!
The oldest building in Los Angeles is situated here as well - the Avila Adobe. It was built by Francisco Avila, a wealthy cattle rancher in 1818. The adobe walls are 2 1/2 to 3 ft thick!
What a fun week with Uncle Doug. Please come and visit us again! :-)
