Day 4 and Lovin' it!!!!

Hi Everybody! Chinatown was a lot of fun. When we first arrived there we saw a store with live chickens. They were all going balk, balk, and it seemed like the movie Chicken Run! Well, Mrs. Perez was the one to drive us there(Mrs. Perez is Vincent and Roderick's Mom) and she really knew her way around . We went to five stores and stalls that normally sell turtles and guess what??? No turtles! Finally we found one lady who was illegally selling them and of course, it was not turtle season, so the price had tripled. Mrs. Perez wanted to go back to Cypress to buy turtles but Aunt Linda said, "No!" After all we came this far to buy turtles, right? We needed turtles from Chinatown! Our turtles are so cute. Their names are Shelder and Sheldon. When we got home Mrs. Perez told us to put bottled water in the container for the turtles. Aunt Linda got some out of the fridge and asked if the water would be too cold. Mrs. Perez said that it wouldn't be and so Aunt Linda poured it into the container. Suddenly the turtle started gulping and coming up for air. We turned away and in a minute Aunt Linda saw that Shelder was floating on his back. Oh no! Animal CPR to the rescue. Mrs. Perez grabbed him just in time and put her hands around him to warm him up. He finally started to breathe! Aunt Linda sighed a huge sigh of relief..she would not have to rush back to Chinatown in rush hour traffic. By the way in Chinatown we also got pop snaps for the 4th of July(6 boxes for $!.00) and we got little fans. Afterwards we went to Burger King so that everyone could get Star War toys in honor of Uncle Karl. Tricia played chess with Ryan and...lost but wasn't discouraged! We started reading the BFG with Aunt Linda. We are illustrating the chapters as Aunt Linda reads them to us. The BFG sounds scary right now. The cool part is that we are illustrating the pages with cool smelling markers. Bath time, bedtime, and the days are flying....what a schedule! We asked to go to bed!!!!!! We love you! Parker and Tricia
