Today my daughter had a day off from filming. She has two more days of filming and she is done with this film. She has had a great time on set. The cast and crew are very nice. She is getting great experience. Jason went with her on Sunday, Monday, and part of Tuesday for filming. The boy and I hung out at the apartment Sunday and Monday.
Some of you have asked for pictures. Here are some pictures of her on set:
Industrial Shipyard.
Doing homework
Tuesday, we dropped my daughter and husband off at the set and went exploring. She is filming near Long Beach so little man and I visited the Cabrillo Marine Aquarium in San Pedro. It was neat smaller aquarium totally geared to kids. Everything was hands on. They had tide pools set up to touch starfish and sea anemones. We got to see small sharks in a pool next to the tide pools. He wanted his picture taken with this starfish.
Inside the aquarium there were tons of tanks set up with tons of things to see. There was an exploration area where you could look into microscopes and see things. We had a blast. I had to coax him into touching stuff in the tide pool, but he finally did. It was totally worth the trip and we paid a whopping $10 for both of us.
We had most of the day to kill, so we also visited a local deli for lunch. We played at a playground on the beach that had a great view of the port of L.A. We also visited a thrift store. I bought a scarf ($1) and a hot wheels track set ($4). I turned the scarf into a draft blocker for our apartment door. The scarf was doubled so I opened a place in the side, stuffed it with plastic bags, and sewed the hole closed. It works like a charm! We went back to the set to take over for Jason who was catching a flight out of LAX that night. The kids and I went back to set on Wednesday and Thursday. Thankfully the weather was beautiful. We spent some time outside when my daughter wasn't needed. Thursday at lunch, we went down to some tide pools not far from the set and explored. It was low tide, so we saw more sea anemones and picked up a piece of an abalone shell.
See the anemones? I count 6 in the picture.
Since we only got 30 minutes for lunch, we ate quickly, drove to the ocean, walked down, explored for about 10 minutes and headed back. If we get a free day sometime in the next few months I might make a trip back to that area and do more exploring.
She was released a little before sunset on Thursday, so we stopped at an overlook and enjoyed the views.
She is off tomorrow, but has an acting class and a table read for another film. She has come down with a cold that her brother shared with her when he got here. I have made her lay low most of the day to get better. I plan to do the same thing tomorrow. Class in the morning, rest during the day, table read tomorrow evening, and bed.
