Our first day we went to Castle Park amusement park. Nicholas LOVED all of the rides. He's going to be a thrill seeker for sure. He was really upset that he wasn't tall enough to get on the roller coaster or bumper cars. I was kind of relieved.
Here he is flying an airplane way up high.

Bad to the bone on a motorcycle.

Nicholas went swimming in the pool for the first time. The water was extremely cold but he really enjoyed it.

Monday we left the hotel at about 5:30am and drove in tons of traffic to the Laker's championship parade.

If you ever wondered what the back of Magic Johnson looks like, here it is
I swore this man was Phil Jackson and was happy I got a pretty good picture. Then I later found out he wasn't even at the parade. Now I have no idea who this guy is.
Derek Fisher
By the end of the day Nicholas was passed out. I don't know why but he insisted on playing with the phone and fell asleep.
We found a park and Nicholas got to play around a bit.
We went to Hollywood and visited all the famous streets: Hollywood & Vine, Melrose, etc.
Sinatra's star
Then we headed to Beverly Hills to see some fancy shops on Rodeo Dr.
Our last day we headed to Newport Beach. The water was freezing but Nicholas had a blast.
Great beach

California was beautiful. Tons of mountains & palm trees

So excited to play in the water

He would have walked all the way out into the very deep if I would let him
Brrrr.....
So happy

Nicholas had a great time with his cousins and Uncle Gregory. I think it was nice for him to play with some "the guys" as he called Demetrius & Demarcus.
