A couple of days after we got to California, we spent a day in Tilden Park, which is right next door to my Grandpa’s house in Kensington, CA. So, of course we stopped by to see him.
Grandpa Clark. His house is like a museum—so many pieces of art on the wall, many sculptures, and lots and lots of souvenirs and collections from his travels with my Grandma when she was alive. Both he and my grandma are/were artists (painters and sculptors) There is always so much to look at!
Hattie is making herself at home and eating a cookie. He always has some sort of store-bought treat in his oven for us to eat.
My grandpa built their home. It’s on a hillside, so when you walk in the front door, you go directly up a very long flight of stairs. There are a few levels in their home. I didn’t go very many time as a kid, but when I did, I always remember counting their steps. Also, you can see here a very small fraction of their art. I was surprised to learn last time I visited Grandpa, that he is still painting and framing art—often.
After Grandpa’s, we went to Tilden park. First to feed the animals. Last time Elna wasn’t brave enough, but this time she loved it!!
Hattie had no interest in feeding the animals.
And then we headed over to the merry-go-round:
They were a little disappointed that the small train was closed, but the got over it after a few rides on the merry-go-round. So fun!
Elna was so brave with the celery!! Good job!! Love the carousel!
