Today the whole crew (Mr. Mustard, my dad, Nancy, Paprika, Ginger, and moi) went to the Griffith Park Observatory and to Travel Town at Griffith Park. Travel Town has lots of full-sized antique trains. Paprika thought this train (above) looked like it was smiling. I agree.
She got to climb inside the trains and sit way up high. So fun!
She was fascinated by the model trains behind the glass. She watched them for over an hour and did not want to quit...
I think she could have watched them all day, but we had other things to see, too!
We took a ride on the mini-locomotive around the park...twice.
When we were all trained out, we headed over to the Griffith Park Observatory to look out over the city, see the Hollywood sign, and check out the planets and solar system exhibits inside.
It was Ginger's first trip to the Observatory, but Paprika's second. We took Paprika to the Observatory when she was two months old. Here we are back on November 11, 2006 with Paprika (looking a lot like Ginger in this picture!):
But enough walking down memory lane. Back to the present...
Here we are learning all about the Focault Pendulum, which demonstrates the rotation of the earth.
Then we learned all about the planets.
Paprika had to show her favorite bear, too.
Ginger loved looking up at the big planets in the air.
I think she learned a lot.
Before we left, we looked out over the vastness of the city.
And at the Hollywood sign.
And took it all in.
The End.
