Summer fun

This summer, we spent an afternoon at Route 66 State Park in Eureka, MO. Growing up, we drove past this ghost town called Times Beach on the way to Six Flags. All I knew was that people had to leave because chemicals put on the roads made them sick. Now, the place is cleaned up, gorgeous, and re-christened as Route 66 State Park. The history of this park makes for a good read on wikipedia. Great shots of Hiro in his sun hat and lion bib.

Having such a small human around every day makes the proportions of the body intriguing. How many people can remember barely being able to touch their hands above their head?

Michiyo brought Hiroki to several gigs I had this summer. The Abra-Kid-Abra show I performed at Libraries was called, "Dr. Bugster and the Magic Fly Swatter."

One of my favorite camps I taught this summer was a pre-school age circus camp at COCA (Center of Creative Arts) near the loop in St. Louis. On the last day, we did a show for their parents, and then had Hiro pose on top of the rolling globe.
