On September 15, 2007, we went to the Museum of Natural History where you just loved seeing all the “BONES.”

The next week, we visited the Long Beach Aquarium. You got to touch and feel the slimy baby stingrays. We saw so many different types of fish and corral.

The week after that, Grandma Nancy came down to visit us. We went to the LA County Museum of Art and the La Brea Tar Pits.

You were really sad to see Grandma Nancy leave. You cried when she said “bye bye!” And we had to distract you so you wouldn’t notice that she was going away. But you were too smart and knew what we were trying to do. You cried with arm reaching out to her as she started driving away. Fortunately, as she was leaving, at our feet appeared Mo’o, Ketura’s bearded dragon. He had been missing until then for about two weeks. That cheered you up.

The next weekend, we went to the LA Zoo. And here begins our “Back of the Head” series at the zoo.

You then decided that you wanted to lead the way…

and showed us this…

and this…

okay… I took that picture.
