Another 2 First Communions

So Tino is officially Andres' Nino Tino...LOL

I didn't get to go to church. I figured, why go if Aracely and Carlos are not going to behave. Sorry I missed it Andres.

So after church and a great lunch prepared by Arcie's mom [gracias señora], we drove to L.A.

Our first stop, Hercules. This hamburger joint used to be our favorite. That is until we moved to Utah and came across Crown Burgers, Astro Burgers, Apollo Burgers and Trainning Table.

Our original destination was the Market Place, better known as Plaza Mexico. Once there we got to park next to this van. Awesome huh? I could not help but take a picture. I strongly agree....GO LAKERS !!!

Alot of changes have gone down at the Market Place, or excuse me, Plaza Mexico. For example, this cool fountain.

Ok you may not get to see the whole thing, but don't Aracely and Carlos look so darling in this picture?

and this one....

oh and also this one.

So many new things, pretty darn cute things. I could not help but stop and have a picture taken with Aracely. Carlos was too excited with everything around him that he didn't want to stop for a picture.

After a long walk and a little shopping at Plaza Mexico, we headed to Arcie's moms house. On our way there as we were driving through Watts {my hometown}, we noticed a car had ran into a house. Yes, it was there sitting on the yard, with the doors opened and no one in sight. It didn't take long before a bunch of police cars starting heading over there. Like six cop cars drove pass us, and seconds later a helicopter joined them for the hunt.

I was reminded of why I moved to Utah. I want a better way of life for my Family. I don't want to be awakened by the sound of sirens or a helicopter flying over my home.

I want to live in peace.

Meanwhile and since we were already there, I asked Tino to please stop at the Watts Towers. I've been wanting a picture of them for a long time, and this time, I was able to take it.

Isn't it a beatiful sight?

p.s. Why 2 First Communions you may ask? Well, besides Andres, Brenda also made her First Communion. I'll upload a picture as soon as they give me one. If they do :)
