Summer concert at the Getty

On stage is Recess Monkey. Three elementary school teachers from Seattle compose the band.  The concert was a lot of fun on the lawn of the Getty.
Avery really loved watching the older kids run around and dance.

We were so lucky to share this fun event with our friends Kelly and Maddie.  Thanks Kelly for making the plans.
This is Avery and Daddy in front of Irises by Van Gogh (obviously).  We were last here on Avery's 1 year birthday.
Avery was so proud after walking down this long flight of stairs by herself, with Baby.
We walked back to the car rather than taking the tram.  Might not do that again anytime soon. But at the end of the walk was a sculpture garden including this big beautiful horse that Avery wanted to ride.  But the sign said "do not touch".  Now when she sees pictures of this horse, she says 'horsie on merry-go-round' and I try to explain that the horse lives in the garden at the Getty, not headed for a merry-go-round at the pier.
