The whole tribe went down to Los Angeles for the 4th of July. Dexter, Suzie and I decided at the last minute to take a trip to see Lola and Lolo; it was good to see Lolo because the last time we saw him he was in the hospital. Dexter wanted to make sure that Lolo was feeling better and we're happy to report that he is indeed feeling and looking better! Down in LA we also got to see Uncle Victor.



Whenever we go to Los Angeles, I insist on going to Bob's Big Boy in Burbank, not too far where I went to Providence High School and graduated in 1987; go Pioneers! You might recall that we have a picture of Dexatrim back in September here, but here's an updated picture.



Dexter needed to do some office work at my parent's house. After eating some delicious pureed prunes, he sat himself down at their computer and started banging away. I'm quoting Dexter the office temp, "I can listen to my radio at a reasonable volume while I collate and use the computer".



Dexter is banging away with AUTHORITY. You know he's in the middle of taking down some important thoughts when he pounds those keys.



Lola gave Dexter some tips on his typing technique.



And a reward for good typing? A kiss from Lola!



We took the Dexican to an outdoor train museum called Travel Town. It was heaven on earth for the Dexican since he just loves anything with wheels. Here we are outrunning a train barrelling down on us.



We took a little train ride around the museum. First time that Dexatrim has been on a train, albeit a miniature one. Suzie and I are pretty sure he enjoyed it.



And to prove he enjoyed it, we have video of Dexter showing his enthusiasm of the train ride...to be fair, it was very hot and we're sure that our little Dexter appreciated it even though the heat makes him very uncomfortable (it makes his eczema flair up).
