Tyger at the park 1

Some days ago, this Proud Grandmom headed to Washington to spend the day with Prince Tyger and his dad, Big T.  The day consisted in part of a visit to the park so that Prince Tyger could play on various playground elements.  Prince Tyger doesn't "get" that he should "pose" for his Grandmom.  Instead, he plunges headlong into the pursuit of the moment, whether that pursuit is his favorite motorcycle bouncing ride

or the swing

or the slide - another blur

although the Tyger preferred to climb UP rather than slide down.

Here is a rare pensive moment.

And another.

But that is because he's been saving his strength for a dash up to the "Zoo" sign.

And then a dash down again.

Ah, how nice it is to be able to relax with Mama afterwards and read a good book!

The Tyger's life is an active one, to be sure.
