Flashback Friday

C just turned 2 in these pics. He wanted to play see-saw with Tigger and placed him on
Then, C went to the other side and sat down, expecting Tigger to play with him. Cute!

Synesthesia?

C and I were walking home from the bus stop and he hung onto my arm as I held the umbrella to keep the blazing sun from scorching our heads.  I asked him not to hold my arm since it was soooo hot and I was oozing sweat and his warm hand was making it worse.  He replies, "I like to hear your sweat rushing out of you." I was like, "Huh?" How do you hear sweat oozing out?

Griffith Observatory Visit

We got to the Observatory around 2pm. The parking was full, so we had to park faaaaar! Do you see the  Observatory in the far hill? We walked all that way!
Along the way to the Observatory was some amazing views...
...and wild flowers
We made it up the hill!
A beautiful monument
Love the Art-Deco Iron work!
Mural in a domed ceiling
Once inside C is mesmerized!
Cool displays
Scoping it out!
C is on a scale that approximates his weight on another planet. I think this is on Neptune. He only weighs 2 lbs!

Whatcha pointing at Einstein?
