camjossHere is Cameron with Joss Whedon at a screening of Dr. Horrible’s Sing-along-blog. Joss Whedon also directed The Avengers. Cameron is dressed up as Dr. Horrible. Dr. Horrible was played by Neil Patrick Harris and you can see how much his costume looked like the real thing. I made Cameron’s costume and am very proud of how it turned out.drhorrible

sanandreas Cameron had a science project about earthquakes earlier this year. He had to make a board describing different kinds of earthquakes and how they affect the land. At the last minute, he told me that he could get extra credit for visiting the San Andreas Fault which runs north to south in California. So, at 6:00 in the morning, we set out and drove 90 minutes so I could take a couple of pictures of him standing in front of the fault. You can see the San Andreas Fault behind him- it is the ridge of hills right there. Then we drove home. I guess it’s what mommies do so that their kids can get some extra credit. Whew!
