To LA And Back, Part 2

Morning in LA, or Alta Dena.
07221232
Peter, Charlotte and Shadrach relaxing on the couch.
07221233
Their back yard has a nice view of the mountains.
07221234
Harry, Max & Henry playing Wii.
07221235
Peter shoveling out the chicken coop.
07221236
We went to their swim club.
07221237
That guy on the right is an actor I recognize but I can’t place his name or what he’s been in. Which probably explains why he belongs to a relatively inexpensive swim club rather than some posh country club. Harry is enjoying a shaved ice.
Edit: Peter found out who he is, it's John Michael Higgins. He was Mentok the Mind Taker in Harvey Birdman Attorney at Law! Not that I recognized him from that role.
07221239
The next day we went to the California Science Center.
07221240
The kids enjoying a zoetrope.
07221241
Some thermal imaging.
07221242
Charlotte in a hurricane chamber.
07221243
Felice learning to fly.
07221244
Hanging out by the fountain.
07221245
Peter is really excited.
07221246
Everyone shoehorned into the Odyssey for the trip down to Legoland. I will stress at this point that the idea of visiting a theme park was none of my doing.
07221247
Such a happy guy.
07221248
Ewok and my nostrils.
07221249
I’m happy I can deny piggyback rides.
07221250
At least there was something cool there.
07221251
It’s a nice mold.
07221254
I can only imagine how many molds Lego uses.
07221258
Some girl vandalizing Churchill.
07221259
I don’t think that’s the Vietnam Veterans memorial. It’s the tomb of the unknown hot dog.
07221260
The models were pretty cool.
07221261
And it was a dream come true for Henry.
07221263
I need to get one of those for home.
07221264
Still having fun…
07221265
A girl and her droid.
07221266
More steamboats. There was also sunburn and puking.
07221267
Shadrach
07221268
He has three legs, as do all cats, but is missing the fourth one.
07221270
Peter and I cobbled together a simple launcher for paper rockets.
07221271
Charlotte counted down from 100.
07221272
Harry donned safety gear.
07221274
There was a bit of dribbling as well.

The Star Wars section of the park was amazing when we went last year. I always geek out at the mold section, too.

Best,
