Less than a week later our friends Michi, Richard, Johanna and Benedikt came. We have known each other since WE were kids and it was wonderful to have them here for a week and bring our lives closer together. The kids had a blast in the pool, giving us a great show on their last day! We again toured around LA but also had some low key days just hanging out at the 'ranch' - Michi even brought her cowboy hat!
