Griffith Observatory

It is a little hard to see in this picture, but that is the Hollywood sign. The observatory is in the Hollywood hills and you can see the sign pretty well from the grounds. We went to the observatory as part of Father's Day. Rick loves space so I wanted to take him because it is a world renowned observatory. my parents came too since my dad also likes space and my mom volunteered to watch Jett for part of the day.
Here is Jett and Grandpa hanging out in front of one of the telescopes up on the roof of the building. Jett was a trooper to have such a long day out with us.
Here are my mom and I up on the roof. Somewhere in the background there is LA, but it was really sunny (and slightly smoggy), so it is really hard to see.
Here are all the men on Father's Day weekend. Earlier in the day I made Rick blueberry muffins and on the actual Father's Day we gave Rick a card that Jett helped me color and a new belt (boring, but it is what he wanted).
Grandma watched Jett while Dad, Rick and I went to see a show. We watched a show in the planetarium about the Northern Lights. It was really cool, but I'm glad Jett didn't come in, it was a little disorienting at parts. We all got to go inside and look at the cool displays about the sun and moon and different stars etc. It was a blast and something I've never done before. After the Observatory we went out to dinner, but it was a little rough because on our way to the restaurant Jett fell down and smashed his face pretty good. Since he was already tired he was really upset. The saddest part for me was seeing his huge swollen lip the next day. Overall, we had a great weekend though (and doesn't Jett look so cool in his sun glasses?)

Jett's POV

If these pictures look a little odd, its because Jett likes to play with our camera. I have more on the other camera, but these are good for now. I just think it is cute to see our house from his perspective.
