After exploring the abandoned zoo we went back down the stairs to play at Shane's Playground, as promised earlier while we were having our picnic lunch. The girls ran around like crazy and played until almost dark.
And then at dusk we went up to the Griffith Observatory. It was beautiful way up there on top of the hill. I didn't want to leave.
The girls had fun, but at this point they were getting a little sleepy. The most amazing part of the observatory was being able to look through their giant telescope and see Saturn and its rings with your own eyes. It was so neat to see the real thing instead of just a photograph. That place brought back tons of memories of my grandfather and his little observatory he built on top of his roof at their old place. So many fond memories of being invited up there and listening to his stories as he showed us the stars. I miss you Grandpa!
