The Day

In your shoes!! Ryan decided today that he would like to have his name on the sidewalk in Hollywood. We looked at sidewalk stars of Bugs Bunny and Big Bird, Jim Henson and Kermit the Frog (poor Miss. Piggy).




At the end of the day, Ryan just likes to go hang out at the pool and go for a swim in the hot tub and the cold tub!! What a cutie!









We Miss Adam, Daisy and Daddy so much, so much, so much
Love, Kesley and Mommy and Ryan

Hollywood Here Comes Ryan



In the morning Ryan worked on Knitting and Drawing. He has taken an interest in the street portrait people and talked to an artist about how he can learn to draw.
Here is Ryan in front of the Hollywood sign! This is the spot where we nearly had a heart attack because mommy realized she did not have the car keys -YIKES!!! We ran down the mountain towards the car and stopped at the spot where we had this picture taken to find the keys on the ground - big sigh of relief!!! Sadly, someone had picked up the $20 that dropped out with the keys. This picture shows how easily the keys slipped out of my pocket!




Here we are at the El Capitain Movie Theatre on Hollywood Blvd. The Disney theatre! We saw The Nightmare Before Christmas in 3D!! That is why we are wearing these funny glasses. Ryan loved the movie, the special doors that took jack to the Christmas Town!

I don't get this thing!!

Okay - I just don't grab Mike's blog often enough to really know what I am doing. My pictures are all mixed up and random. But, I do have some random thoughts about L.A...

Random Thougt #1 - why would anyone move here?? It is smoggy up on the mountain and down in the valley. When we were up on the mountain the city was covered in a haze. And when on the highway, the mountain looked covered in goo.

Random Thought #2 - why does it take 1 hour to go 5 miles?? Because people around here don't care!

Random Thought #3 - It was odd seeing celebrity names in front of stores that they would probably not want anything to do with. Like Harrison Ford's star in front of a sex toys shop or Henry Fonda in front of a smoke shop where they sold bongs - for what???

Random Thought #4 - Why don't you go out after 6pm?? Bad drivers..Ryan and I almost got smooshed yesterday at 6:05 and for the next 15 minutes it was crazy drivers

Random Thought #5 - I don't really think there are any celebrities here...just people who are acting like celebrities with big sunglasses

L.A. is an experience, glad to be here but man, the politics and antics of D.C are really looking good.

Love, Kesley

Ryan's Second Day in L.A.

Ryan had a great time exploring all of the exhibits - we blew smoke and looked at funny colors. Ryan even made a spider!





We woke up excited to be here and ready to go do something! So, we found two great things to explore Exposition Park and Griffith Park. At Exposition Park we went to the Science Museum we both learned about air pressure and hemotosis -

Ryan's Trip to L.A



We left on Thursday, Ryan and Mommy to head to sunny L.A. for Ryan's star debut with TriCoast Studios.

Ryan was a super traveler. Before we got on the plain, we made a pit stop at Dunkin Donuts. It was a good thing because we did not get dinner on the plane. Ryan's favorite part of the plane ride out was the "little TV's on the back of the seat".
