The Griffith Park Pony Rides are no strange to Miss P. The first time I took her she was a little under 18 months. I remember this because the Southern Railroad is next-door and kids are free until they hit 18 months. After the more adult observatory I thought we needed some good old fashion kiddie fun and ponies sure fit the bill. For $3 a kid can ride either a fast horse, a mild horse or a really slow horses aka six horses that walk around in a circle. We usually do the mild horse because Miss P can ride on the pony without other kids and I don't have to worry about the fast one and her falling off.
After the ponies we can not help but take a train ride on the mini train that goes around the a small section of the park. For $2.75 you get to go to "Miami" or where ever the conductor wants to go that day. Ours apparently wanted to go south to the fun Miami.
As a little girl I would look on my mom’s arm and wonder why she had such a weird mark near her shoulder. A few days ago, as the warm solution penetrated my bloodstream, I started to cry remembering my mom’s mark. The nurse asked me if I was okay and I told her I was so incredibly happy. As a diabetic I was stressed never knowing if I was doing enough to avoid it but also, keeping some semblance of life in doing outdoor things. I cried because I am incredibly grateful to the SCIENCE that made this possible in only a year. Less time for me to worry about my only kiddo should the worse happen. If ur on the fence...I’ve worked in entertainment for over 20 years and I’ve seen first hand how easy celebrities influence the public. Some do good and others well...I’m happy to have a little bit of the gracious Dolly Parton with me. Scientists on the other hand, very rarely get the recognition for their years of study, years of research and expertise contributing to (wo)mankind....
