Kids Space

So on our visit down at Tito and Tita's (Joel and Richelle's), they took us to an amazing place called Kids Space in Pasadena. It was an all-day adventure that was incredibly fun for my little girls, and it was relatively inexpensive at only $10 a kid. I was impressed. Better than Disneyland, in my humble opinion.

Not sure what brought on the tears here. Eric took this shot.

Such a patient little guy.

Since it was such a hot day, the water was a hit with Essie.

Abby didn't want to go in since you had to wear your shoes, and she only had tennis shoes on. I had no idea about the water. Live and learn.

Hey Tito, pick on someone your own size! :)

Essie's pick of animals to see were the elephants.

Abby was very disturbed by this caged elephant. She kept insisting that he wanted to get out.

So we finally made it to the alligators. Abby thoroughly enjoyed seeing them, though she was a bit scared when Grandpa lifted her up over the railing to look at one.

This is the best I could get of these creepy creatures.
