Days into Nights

We had Thursday off last week and decided to take Gramma to Black Bear Diner. I hope she liked it as much as we do. After that we went to Wild Things Inc. animal compound where Charlie and Amanda escorted us through a very interesting tour. Charlie loves animals and it shows! He rescues and trains all types of animals for the entertainment industry. If you ever see a picture of a tiger that has "stars" as eyebrows, you will know that he is a friend of Charlie's. After the main tour, we were able to meet the elephants on a personal level. We fed them carrots and ......pumpkins! It was really cool. Did you know an elephant can pick up things as small as a blade of grass with their trunks? It got colder and drizzly, but we had to take Jessica to see the Pacific Coast of Monterey. I'm sure it would've been nice on a semi-sunny day but it was too cold to even want to get out of the car. She really liked the sealions at Bird Rock. John-Paul worked on Friday, while Jessica and Gramma went to the Tech Mueseum. Jessica is my little scientist. She came home and started to make "stuff" out of the hotel room soaps and lotions!! "Look mom, it sticks":) On Saturday they didn't need JP for the motorcade scene so he got another day off. But I had to create a couple of hairstyles so they slept in and then we went to the Sky High Sports that afternoon. We played trampoline dodgeball !! It was kinda hard but Jessica hit all the big kids out before they even had a chance to get her first!! She was amazing in there. I think JP just liked to bounce becuase he would always dodge the balls or pick one up and just hand it to anyone else to throw! Today is Monday. We will be shooting a stunt type scene this afternoon so Jessica and I will be going to see Four Christmases before we head to the location. It is going to be a long night but it is also our last day of shooting. We pack up tomorrow and come HOME on Wednesday night.....hopefully! (Pray for no snow!)
