Jumping Sumo

One of Quinn\’s birthday presents (from us) was a Jumping Sumo.  I think he\’s been asking for it since his last birthday or maybe Christmas.

You control it with the ipad.  And it has a camera on it so you can see where it\’s going.

Sonic didn\’t love this gift.

But of course he was curious.

Quinn is getting pretty good at controlling his Jumping Sumo.

LACMA

This past weekend we made a visit to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA).  Kids under 18 get a free membership and get to bring in one adult for free too.  We must have been very nice because we all got in free.

The iconic light pole structure outside of the LACMA that has been included in a handful of movies.

This awesome large curved wall exhibit made an excellent backdrop for our handsome boy.

Metropolis was pretty amazing.  We happened to arrive while it was running.

To get a sense of the size of it. Wow!

Here\’s a short video of Metropolis in action from above.

Catching Up

Here\’s what has been happening around here in September and October.
My cousin Susan came for a quick visit while mom was here.  It\’s been a handful of years since seeing each other so great to spend some quiet time together.    Quinn will be as tall as Sue any day now 🙂

Oh yeah, I had a birthday in September.  Mom made a gluten free German Chocolate Cake we could all enjoy and it was delicious!!!

 Beautiful fall sunrises.  Although it\’s supposed to be 100 degrees here today 😦

Our funny kid has decided that this is where he likes to spend lots of his time.  I guess we\’re one step closer.  Of course this boy is always surrounded by books.

This night he decided he wanted to sleep with Sonic all night.  This is where I found him in the morning.  

It\’s a shame I didn\’t get this one in focus, but you get the idea.  He was going for \”a style\”.  Too bad we made him put on a shirt to go out.

And he loves his long sleeve shirts, even on hot hot days.  We suggested he put on a short sleeve shirt and he said that this shirt \”technically is a short sleeve shirt\”.
