Playarea

After the airport, they came to this playarea at a mall. Momo-chan has been here when he was smaller. As there were many bigger kids, it took a while for twins to start playing in the area.

Look! Planes!

QP-chan pointed to the airplane that was taking off. 

Santa Monica Airport

They thought kids recovered from the stomach sickness and finally enjoy a day but it got Pingu. So Pingu was sick at home. Pinga took three of them first to a playground then beach. But it was too chilly to be there so they came to the airport. Coco-chan was sleeping but QP-chan and Momo-chan watched small planes for a while. 

French fries QP-chan

They tried to let QP-chan eat hamburger but she just went for French fries. Coco-chan was even worse and dipping flies into ranch dip and just licking the dip sauce. Come on, eat properly babies! Well, but it's not easy at a burger place... 

Burger lunch

They had burger lunch after a chilly beach visit. Momo-chan enjoyed his junior burger with strawberry milkshake.

Sick Coco-chan and Momo-chan

Both Momo-chan and Coco-chan are not feeling well. Stomach problem and more. Coco-chan didn't want to eat almost anything but he drunk well. Momo-chan ate more and drunk well. Let's hope they feel better soon and other members stay healthy. 

Picnic at UCLA

Second day in LA was to meet Pinga's friends at UCLA. As it's holiday season, campus buildings were closed and not many people or cars were there. They bought sandwiches in Westwood and went to the campus. It was perfect picnic weather with nice sunshine. Momo-chan and twins had fun walking around and exploring. 

Cute drink bottles

They like these drink bottles with stormtrooper and Miss Piggy. Pinga's aunt found them. As it was important for Coco-chan to drink a lot, it was great that he liked it. They learned quickly to lift the bottle to drink.

New haircut

Pinga got a haircut and this time, it seems to be ok. She hasn't been satisfied with Vancouver haircuts so let's vote it's a good one. Coco-chan was sick and wanted to be close to Pinga that's why he is in the picture as well. 

Santa Monica beach

Day one of the trip, they went to Santa Monica and walked along the beach. Twins didn't like soft sand beach. But they were OK with wet sand.
