Halloween @ Micheltorena

This year my daughter opted to design her own costume and she chose to be a chocolate bar carrying the brand of Willy Wonka. She even had a golden ticket stuck on her back. Many of the other kids bought their costume and were quite nice . I must say there were a lot of princesses this year

Around Long Beach Pier

Pacific Aquarium, Long Beach California

Last Sunday I brought my family and a couple of my daughter's classmate to Pacific Aquarium of Long Beach CA. Its approx 30min drive from our house in Los Angeles. Entry fee was $45/person. The coolest part of the visit is that visitors were allowed to pet stingrays and sharks. In all it was really fun and educational experience for the kids.

Pick Your Own Apple

After so many Sundays without a family outing we finally managed to plan something. We decided to drive out to an apple farm located in the Mojave desert approximately 100 miles from LA.The drive took us almost 2 hrs.Mengalih jua ehh walapun dalam kerita ganya.Along the way we passed upon wind generators erected on the hills. The outside air temp was 100 deg F approx 38 deg C in the desert. I was skeptical on how an apple farm could exist out in a desert. The apple farm was ran by a family on a 1 acre land. The apple trees were the most 5 to 6 ft high.There were green and red apples of various sizes. They were sweet and we ate some while picking them. It cost $20 to fill a 5 gallon bucket with apples.
