L.A. Snow Day

A real blizzard hit my school on Wednesday morning.

It wasn't exactly a traditional snowfall. It came down about an inch per minute.

My pals and I brought our cold weather clothes out of storage for the day.

The snow was so deep we couldn't use the swings for three days.

Tubing!

The family and a few friends headed up to Mountain High for an afternoon of tubing.

I could have lounged in this thing all day.

Turns out sliding down an icy hill in an inflated tube is pretty exciting.

Grace found it mildly amusing.

The big kids had stuff to talk about.

Conditions weren't great for snow angels.

But we tried our best just the same.

And, even though everyone kept telling me not to, I ate a bunch of handfuls of old snow. FYI: It was delicious.

In the Greatest City in the World

During her trip to New York, Grace checked out the new Whitney Museum.

She enjoyed the video installations most of all, of course.

She also appreciated some outdoor public art. (She recognized Anne Frank on that cell phone.)

On Saturday, she marched with some 400,000 mothers, sisters, daughters, wives, fathers, husbands, brothers, and sons in the Women's March through the streets of Manhattan.

She was pretty excited to be a part of it.

After participating in the march, Grace took a rest in Times Square. I don't know how she's able to sleep in the noisiest environments.

The lollipop was well-deserved.

The Jetsetter

Grace took time out from her busy L.A. schedule to travel to the Big Apple. Here, she climbed aboard Balto, the hero dog of Alaska lore, who stands proudly in Central Park.

She literally poked fun of Uncle Scott while walking the High Line.

She played the scamp under a statue of a cat.

She visited a skyscraper, the name of which she wouldn't tell me.

And she made a couple of trips to Central Park, just to run around and hang out.

Climbing on public art was a favorite activity.

Oh, and she scored a last-minute ticket to a little show called "Hamilton."

A Zoo Kind of Day

We had the day off to celebrate the life of Martin Luther King, Jr., so we decided to spend it outside at the Los Angeles Zoo with about half of the city.
