Fun with remote control

Rainy Sundays are a challenge when you have an active child who isn't yet old enough to go to the movies. So we went out to a nearby mall yesterday afternoon, and had quite a fun time. Of special interest to Jasper was the kiosk where they were selling remote control devices. Listen closely as he tries to say "helicopter." (Well, the last syllables of the word, anyway.)







And a bonus picture of Jasper playing at the Starbucks:

A new park

The last time we went to this park, there was no one there because it was closed for renovations. Now it's open, but there was still no one there in the prime hours of a Saturday morning. I guess Angelenos are really afraid of a few storm clouds (which never ended up dropping any rain).

Sidewalk fun

Aunt Melanie in town!

Aunt Melanie has been visiting! She arrived last Friday and will be here until tomorrow.

Some videos to follow, but to tide you over, a smattering of still photos from her visit:

Jasper, comin' right at ya!

3D glasses sold separately.

(And don't worry, the ground below is a spongy kind of "asphalt" on which children can't hurt themselves if they fall!)

A couple weeks old, but ...

... it just seemed too mean to Jasper's East Coast family to show us going to the beach in February. (March is a little better.)

(Plus, Daddy has been slacking off on posting to this blog!)
