Trains

We ended up going to Vasona park today. Here is Kit waiting in line for the train. She is a real train fan. In Japanese, she's a "tetsu-ko" (rail/iron girl)
She loves to ride the train.
Tuk and Kit waiting for a seat up front in the cab.
Kit enjoyed waving to everyone from the cab. She learned all about driving a train. She knows how to operate the big horn, the whistle and the bells.
Afterward we had a wonderful picnic. Kit enjoyed many foods, especially the blackberries and blueberries.
When the train came by Kit would wave to everyone.

As she became full she enjoyed feeding the berries to me.
Sometimes she would pop one into her mouth before deciding to give it to me.

After lunch she blew some bubbles.

We went home and took a nap. Kit woke up first and came to give me a hug.
She tried many methods to get me up but they were not working.

Seems dad can ignore just about anything.
Finally, she found something that worked well. She started playing music for me.
When we were in Japan Town the other night we bought some gobo root to make a simple yet delicious dish. Kit helped make it.
Here it is. It needs to sit in the refrigerator overnight.

I love the crunch but next time I will cut it across the grain to see if we prefer it that way.
