Jam Packed

On Saturday, we managed to cram a boatload of activities into one day singly and as a family.

1. Hector had a dentist appt at 8am.
2. Tyler has karate at 9:30am



Thanks to Tammy modelling this in the heat.

3. During this time, I take Josh to CVS to pick up some cough medicine for my mom, deliver it, head over to Matt and Tammy to do a quick photo shoot of the neckwarmer, pick some lemons and head back home around 12 noon.
4. Hector and Tyler grabbed some pozole for brunch and came back home. I found Hector asleep on the sofa when I arrived.
5. At 1pm we headed out to Anaheim (way out by Yorba Linda) to check out some hot tubs. Spent a lot of time climbing in/out, sitting/lounging in and getting info. I found a model that I liked that had the right configuration and size so we now have something to go on. Piled back into the car and checked out another hot tub/spa place in Santa Fe Springs and spent more time doing the same exact thing.



After 2 donuts.

6. Driving home, I get a hankering for donuts. It's probably due to the fact we were by Krispy Kreme. We stopped for a donut break. I have a sugar high.
7. As we are driving, I'm talking to Hector about Asain fast food chains making their way to the US. I mention Beard Papa and Hector knows where it is so we head over to Marukai in Gardena to check that out.



Waiting for meat on a stick.

8. Sure enough, it's there but I'm too loaded up on donuts to try one of their custard filled pastries. Still, buzzing, we see a Shinsengumi where the guy is cooking chicken meatballs. Tyler and I go, "Yum!" So we order some meatballs, chicken thighs/green onion and asparagus wrapped in bacon. Kind of pricy so don't try to make a meal of it.

9. Since we in Marukai, we start doing some shopping. As we head up and down the aisles, I add more to our cart. Well, I started gathering so much, we HAD to get a cart. Ramen, shave ice flavors, curry and miso. More on that another time. :)
10. Not done yet...drive to Hawthorne to order a bounce house for Tyler's birthday party. Okay he will be 12 but everyone is younger and they'll all have fun.
11. Finally, home but not finished. Hector calls the our guy who will be doing our new fence. Lots of talking and scheduling. We have to coordinate with them and the neighbors.
12. One last item, swimming at the neighbors pool....really hot today around 90 degrees + so the kids were happy to cool off.
