Orange County

We stayed with Holly, Rob, and their 4 year old daughter Jordan.  Laura planned a picnic on Sunday for the whole family to get together.  The family is growing at an amazing pace. Between marriages and kids we had a lot of new people to meet and get to know! We've always had fun when we get together with them.  We were working on figuring out if we were 2nd cousins and then how the once removed thing works, but I can't remember exactly anymore.  The once removed has to do with the generation difference. Either way, we are only get to see each other once every few years but we get along great.  They are all so goofy and fun!  We had the picnic with everyone at Rick & Diana's, had drinks with Brian one night, Holly made a delicious chicken chili dinner and Karen, Paulo, and Sue came over.  We went out to eat with Melvin & Helen.  It was a great time with everyone!



Annie & I went up to Hollywood to see if we could pursue our dreams of movie stars.  The closest we got was staring in the crowd of the Price is Right.  We didn't get called up on stage, but we were only 3 rows back and I'm sure we'll be on TV a lot.   The show airs January 17!  It was a long day with a lot of waiting.  Traffic was stupid too. It took us over 2 hours to go 45 miles.  Fortunately we had a lot of cool people in line near us so we had fun chatting with them all day.  Drew Carey is really funny too.  Neither of us had watched a Price is Right in years.  He would make jokes and talk to us in the crowd and danced with people during commercial breaks.   We walked around Venice Beach too one afternoon.  That's an interesting place... Great to people watch.
