Austin’s basket ball season is almost over. They’ve won all but two games and we’re waiting for the playoff schedule. Each game has been filled with intense excitement including this free throw shot by our number one grandson. Go Austin!

I also might add … we’re still trying our best to master sports photography however … most photos are still a bit blurry … like this one.

This week we took our eldest grandson to Universal Studios Hollywood. It’s a trip we’ve been planning to do with him for some time. Within minutes of entering the front gate we just happened to spot the Lorax. As Austin and the Lorax were passing each other there was a totally spontaneous ”high five.”  Love it!

While NY was waiting in line at the market, I caught up in the essence of the flower bouquets for sale. Even though I rarely purchase flowers in the market I’m always drawn to them. You can oft times catch me with my face smooched in amoungst the petals as I savor the beautiful scent.

We spend a lot of time at Disneyland but this week was the first time we actually rode in the Lilly Belle. The delightful red car is the caboose on one of the several Disneyland Railroad trains. The mahogany walls and ceiling are accented with stained glass windows along the top. The red Victorian furniture has seated many a celebrity including Japan’s Emperor Hirohito. The smoking jacket that the Emperor gifted Walt Disney with is hanging in the front of the car. Ashley, our conductor shared the history of the Lilly Belle during our trip around Disneyland. We can’t wait to do it again with our grandchildren!

Meet Ruby. (Our nickname: Kanga-ruby!) She’s one of the many exotic animals you can meet up close and personal at the San Diego Safari Park’s “Animal Encounters.” We met Ruby this week when we spent a delightful day exploring the park with our dear friends Mike and Norma. Ruby was the first animal we encountered after the gorgeous parrots that greet everyone near the entrance. Ruby was friendly with her keepers but she kept her distance from the spectators. She didn’t perform tricks or anything that isn’t a natural behavior for a kangaroo. She did however hop along at her keeper’s direction and received treats continuously for doing so.

I asked about the harness she was wearing. We all know it’s not a natural piece of attire for a lady kangaroo, although it didn’t seem to bother Ruby one bit. Her keepers explained it took months to train Ruby to wear it. It was a slow process that started with her just sniffing the harness as she slowly became used to it being around. Eventually she tried it on … with help from her keepers of course. I suppose for Ruby, wearing the harness is special because she knows she gets to hop about AND get special treats!

We took almost 300 digital photos at the Safari Park this week. But these few photos of sweet Ruby just melt my heart. Perhaps it’s because she doesn’t seem to give a hoot about her little belly poking out in her profile. I wish I had her confidence!

We spent a lot of this week out and about running errands and keeping appointments. One evening when we arrived home we found this note written in very large letters on the chalkboard door. Our kindergarten grand daughter wanted us to know that she and her mother were going to get the mail from the mailbox for us. love, Love, LOVE that little girl!

It’s Favorite Photo Saturday and we have so many photos to choose from this week.

We’re over the top in love with this photo of our 11-year old grandson on the Silly Symphony Swings at Disney California Adventure Park. He’s swinging high over Paradise Bay with the Disneyland Hotel and Disney’s Paradise Pier Hotel in the background. We had a wonderful exhilerating day with Austin and his friend. Twelve full hours (it’s been awhile since we were there that long) that sent us into dreamland when we arrived home.

The Natural History Museum in London is lovely during the day but at night … it’s absolutely amazing! Next trip to London will include an entire day inside exploring every single room and exhibit.
