LA County Fair

This was our second time going to the fair. This time we meet up with Matthew, Jung and Danielle. We had a really great time with them and they were so great with Penny. As usual it was incredibly hot! As in 97 degrees. We had to take a lot of drink breaks. We had a full day with a visit to the farm section where we went in a petting zoo area, took Penny shopping, milked cows, saw gigantic pigs!, talked to owls, saw a turkey race and got Penny an ice cold milk! We started lunch by sharing brisket, a tri-tip mash potato bowl and moved on to cotton candy, fried pickles, frozen lemonade, shaved ice, popcorn, donuts, and fried Reese's Peanut Butter Cups! Oh yeah and bottles and bottles of water and beer!  We got $50 worth of tickets and had fun winning prizes for Penny. She loved the rubber ducky game. We won 3 bananas and one Hello Kitty stuffed animals for all of our efforts!  It got so hot Penny really wanted to play in water. She wanted to play with the Sparklets water tower, she wanted to go on the log ride with her uncles but it was the hot tubs she got to play in. I'm sure I wasn't supposed to let her in for as long as I did but no one said anything and I needed to get her cool (the water was cool). I think they understood because of the heat. Afterward Penny was cool enough to take a nice long nap in her stroller. Overall, it was a fun day with friends!

Vaccine Part 1

As a little girl I would look on my mom’s arm and wonder why she had such a weird mark near her shoulder. A few days ago, as the warm solution penetrated my bloodstream, I started to cry remembering my mom’s mark. The nurse asked me if I was okay and I told her I was so incredibly happy. As a diabetic I was stressed never knowing if I was doing enough to avoid it but also, keeping some semblance of life in doing outdoor things. I cried because I am incredibly grateful to the SCIENCE that made this possible in only a year. Less time for me to worry about my only kiddo should the worse happen.  If ur on the fence...I’ve worked in entertainment for over 20 years and I’ve seen first hand how easy celebrities influence the public.  Some do good and others well...I’m happy to have a little bit of the gracious Dolly Parton with me.  Scientists on the other hand, very rarely get the recognition for their years of study, years of research and expertise contributing to (wo)mankind....

Surfing Goat Diary

We left the store and headed to the Surfing Goat Diary, again, this was a second trip for us but what was different this time is that we scheduled an hour long tour. Last time we arrive right before closing and were rushed. We spent a fair amount of time there exploring before the tour. We tried their cheesecake, we met the cats and dogs that roamed the place, we played in the playground, we pet and fed the baby goats that were penned up, and pursued the little store. Penny was eager to get her hands on the chocolate goat milk truffles. I must admit they did look good. I had my eyes on a t-shirt and a mug. Our tour started at 3:30pm that day and we met all the goats and learned all about the farm. But the most exciting part of the tour was getting the opportunity to milk the goats. Penny was quite a good milker. A friend later reminded me that Penny was breastfed (wink, wink). By the time the tour ended we were extremely hot. Maui was hot but also humid. We were ready to...

7th Birthday

Mark ur calendars, Dec 12 is an awesome day to go to Disneyland! There was no one at the park yesterday morning. We had 3 amazing hours 8am to 11am to ride! Some Disneyland records we set yesterday:  ✅A After many years, we finally got a wristband (and bought) a giant Disneyland candy cane.  ✅F First people on pirates of the carribean.  ✅ Line for Indiana Jones was 10 minutes long  😳  This never happens and we sat next to the people (strangers) who sat next to us on pirates b ut we did not walk over to the ride with them. ✅ By a fluke, we were also the first people on Big Thunder Mountain and kiddo rode in the cart by herself! (They opened late and we were in the right spot) ✅Kiddo  rode front seat on Matterhorn because a kind guy, his first visit, said he was too tall to sit in front and she wouldn’t be able to see sitting behind him ✅ Prode space mountain for the first time and huffed that it wasn’t scary and it was no IncrediCoaster. And the line...
