A Saturday Night in Los Alamitos

After a full afternoon of packing, we went out to dinner with my parents. D's co-worker has been raving about a Chinese restaurant called Fortune Cookie that is near by our place, so we decided to give it a try. (My parents and I had take out from there a LONG time ago, but D had never been). We ordered chicken lettuce cups, orange chicken, eggplant, House lo mein and brown rice. Fortune Cookie is known for being "healthier" Chinese--all of the nutritional info is on the menu. D and I thought it was funny that we were the only Asian people in there aside from the employees, and it was pretty crowded! We enjoyed the food, and even had enough leftovers for tonight's dinner.




Note the mess that k made...this happens pretty much whenever we go out.

Afterward my parents went home and we headed to the nearby Los Alamitos Race Course for the Wiener Nationals! This was another thing that we have meant to do, and now that we're moving, we thought we might as well.

We didn't get there early enough to get the good seats. The dogs are so small, it was hard to see:


There was also horse racing, but we only stayed for the first race. I'm sure it is a lot more interesting if you have money at stake!


k was more interested in this:

D was able to snag a beach ball that they were throwing out to the crowd.



On the way home we ran into a DUI stop set up by the Cypress police...I guess they wanted to target the race attendees.

Also wanted to note that last week n turned four months old.

He weighed 17 pounds at the doctor's office. Love those thunder thighs!
