Seeing the Sights

So, on Friday we went up to Hollywood Boulevard to see the walk of fame with all the stars. They seriously go on for like forever! So we just did the ones around the Kodak theatre and the chinese theatre where they have the hand/foot prints aswell. The area surrounding the walk of fame definitely got nicer the closer we drove towards the kodak theatre, where it was quite touristy and they had all the people dressed up as different characters/stars. So, after a wander around there, getting some of the best stars, Winnie the Pooh of course ;) we stopped by the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory where they had THE most amazing selection of chocolate/toffee coated apples. They went from simples like chocolate coated with sprinkles to like smores apples! In the end we went for a cookies and cream one which tasted awesome!!
Anyways, after all that excitement we headed down to the beach for an hour, and played football(american) and baseball. Though Aunty Donna thought it was way too cold and spent the first 20 mins huddled in a blanket on the sand! The boys then had baseball practice, so Aunty Donna decided to take me to have pedicures! lol Interesting experience, especially for someone with really tickly feet! Also, watched Shrek 4 in the evening, and was soo much better than the 3rd one methinks, though can't say I have the greatest sense of humor so.......
Yesterday, I got to use up my birthday present from Aunty Donna/Uncle David and we went to Knotts berry farm, which is kinda like Thorpe Park ( big amusement park), except for Aunty Donna who hates rollercoasters. Had great time as I love anything that goes really fast, especially the ones with all the loops etc. Twins didn't want to do one of them with me, so Uncle David bravely volunteered, though spent the whole ride with his eyes closed! Ben came on a few of the bigger ones with me too, and then we rode the 'Big foot rapids', first time was fine as came out pretty dry, though U. David was soaked. Then Miles made us go round a second time and I came off dripping. Didn't actually fully dry off until the very end of the day :( Then went for dinner - mexican - with another family they're friends with, who also have a guest from England!
Today, had a nice lie-in as per usual, then off to see the boys soccer game rounding off my sports viewing. They won so alls good there! Anyways, hoping to go to the beach this afternoon so....
