Scouts, PBS and Weekends...The Good Life






































































Lots has happened since we last talked. I found out that West and I are in Scouts now and what a big responsibility that is, roasting hot dogs and marshmellows and all dat stuff.

In the PBS kids writers contest I won second place for my grade they must have liked my stories. My Sister Ivy won third place for her grade.

This weekend we needed a break my dad came home from work early so we could go on a quick trip. The first afternoon and night we went up the freeway a few minutes to Manhattan Beach. We stayed at the Marriott Hotel. The first thing we did is swim after that we went and got dinner at LA Food Show it was the best food I have ever had and trust me it was better than Chilis.

Saturday we woke up early and in the cold went swimming. Then we drove by the LA Temple. After that to Beverly Hills on our way to the Grove and American Girls doll store. It was basically a doll museum my sisters went crazy and boys let me tell you, you are not missing anything. After that we went to Griffith Park Observatory and the Hollywood sign and then to Baskin and Robbins, I had 3 ice cream cones. And Downtown LA by my dad’s office and then to El Taco. Count your blessings folks we saw a lot of homeless people digging through the trash for food like possums. Then home to get ready for Easter. Signed Fantastic Mr. R

  1. Reeve, what a wonderful time we had! You and the girls (including Mom) and I had a blast. If it is one thing I always wanted you to know its that when you dig in the trash you look like a possum. Possums Reeve, really? You're a nut. I love being with you guys. Be good you little possum.

  2. Howdy, River. It looks like you had so much fun. I wish we could have bopped around L.A. with you guys. I heard a rumor that little boys might like the American Girl Doll store, too. Heh, heh, heh. Congrats on your story writing award. You're racking up the writing trophies. Maybe you'll be a champion masher, too. We've got our fingers crossed for you. Aunt E
