During my first summer weekend I road my bike down the LA River with my sister, tata, and mom. It was the grand opening of the Frog Spot. The Frog Spot is a cafe where you can stop, rest, go to the bathroom, and ge a little snack. They have free filtered water. We also went to a festival for plans of the LA River. They had pictures and maps of the parks they are going to make. They had hoola hoppes to decorate and use for the kids and free drinks. After that we went to the Griffith Observatory to see the summer solstice. It was so beautiful, my eyes broke in to tears. The sky was red, blue, green, orange, and purple. We bought some hot chocolate and sat on the patio overlooking the summer solstice sunset.
On Sunday, we woke up very early beacause we were going to the LA River Ride at Griffith Park. We went to the Kids Race and we had to have a safety check. We had our helmets and bike checked and had to go through an obsticle course. We had to walk our bikes to the starting lane and my sister was in first place, my mom was in third place and I was in second place. We won a bike bell, a metal, a t-shirt and a rist band. After that, we went to the Autrey Museum. At the museum we went on a tour and learned about cowboy life and navtive american life and history. We also learned about cowboy movies. Also, we went panning for gold a the museum. After all of that we were getting out of the parking lot, then suddenly, we saw a fire on a mountain close by. We were not in danger but you could see the flames and the smoke in the distance. We then came home and had lunch with my Ita and Tata. Ita made us taquitos with chicken, beans, and potatoes. After lunch, we saw the USA v. Portugal World Cup game. We were in shock at the end when my mom jinxed the USA and Portugal scored in the last 30 seconds. It was very exciting.
We rested for a few minutes after the game and then went to meet my cousing Kimberly at the Americana. While driving to the Americna, we saw the fire again but it was very small. We found a good spot by the fountain to sit and then we went to the trolly ride. That was the last trolly ride of the evening. When we stopped and got off we landed outside the japanese restaurant. We begged our mom to let us eat there, so we did. Our cousing Kimberly, took us shopping to Forever21 and she told us we could try a bunch of stuff on. I just tried on two shirts. It was nice to spend time with my family. We then came home because it was getting cold and late.
You should visit Los Angeles, there are many fund things to do here.
We say a fire.
