At the end of June, Mike got tickets to the X Games which were going on at the Staples Center. He decided he wanted to take the kids up first to Chinatown for a little exploring and an early dinner before heading to the X Games. He really "talked up" Chinatown with the kids prior to getting there. They were on board and it turned out to be such a fun afternoon. We checked out the little shops and I managed to talk the kids out of wanting to buy any of the junk they sold. We did purchase some 'Pop Its' and the kids had fun with those. We tossed some coins into the fountain, watched the "Chinatown's Got Talent" show that was going on in the center, ate some yummy Chinese food and scooped up some ice cream for dessert. It was a great day. Oh, and the X Games were pretty cool too.
