Paul can’t handle surprises (he gets it from me) so the whole car ride he is listing off the possibilities…are we going fishing? tide pools? friend’s house? hiking? and he finally resigns himself to an adventure?Yeah!  at the LACMA!the boys loved seeing Metropolis IIwith tons of cars and trains racing around.Then there was the hanging out in the plastic tubing
that I kept calling “yellow spaghetti.”So fun for little ones.Eventually wandering over to look at the tar pits
and a little tree climbing.I swear this was left over from an Easter egg hunt, but Paul was stoked to find it in the bushes.
It was Sunday afternoon art projects at the museum.They painted and made braceletswhile the little one waited patiently nearby.
Of course we had to stand under the “Levitated Mass” rockand after three hours and a little sunshine this was our sweet relief:Paul had strawberry lemonade
and Henry had pineapplethey were willing to shareand then we headed home.Another awesome day spent exploring a place in our own backyard.
