Griffith Observatory

Today the 3rd grade went on a field trip to the Griffith Observatory. I was lucky enough to be able to go along, I was a parent driver and drove my girl plus two of her girlfriends. Ashton stayed with Sophi and was telling me that this was going to be the best day ever! He got to go on Sophi's Preschool field trip to Placerita Natural Area. They got to see the animals and go on a tour/hike. He said he learned that owls can eat skunks because they can't smell them. :)
We were gone all day at the observatory and found out when we got there that it didn't open until 12:00pm. We were there at 9:45am. Whoops!!! So we went on a hike, great hiking!
We had to take a picture of these California girls if front of the Hollywood sign.

On our hike, took a picture with the observatory in the background

In the gift shop, they had to go to the gift shop even though none of them had any money to spend :) Little shoppers! The cutest little astronauts I have ever seen!The whole 3rd grade including their teachers.

A very fun, exhausting day! :)

Oh gosh, I haven't been to the Observatory since I was a teenager and the planetarium show was still playing Pink Floyd! :) We loved it them but I hear it's AMAZING now! Your pics are awesome - what adorable girls you got to chaperone! So glad it was such a fun day :D
