La Brea Tar Pits

Saturday was a beautiful day to visit the La Brea Tar Pits and Page Museum right in the heart of LA.

This picture is taken standing on top of the museum looking down at the tar pits.  You can see Don in his blue shirt walking with Quinn towards the pits which look like a big pond.

Don and Q checking out a recreated mammoth getting stuck in the pits.

They are active and bubbling and stinky.

The Los Angeles Contemporary Museum of Art is right next door so we had lunch and checked out the sculpture garden.

The grounds around the museums and tar pits are beautiful!

Levitating Mass.

I photoshopped out all the people except Don and Quinn 🙂

Inside the museum checking out the paleontologist lab.

First Playdate

OK, so we\’ve lived here 6 months and Quinn is just now having his first playdate at our house.   But we\’ve had some other things to deal with so we get a big fat pass.  

You may have seen my Dirty Dog post.  That was a prelude to the playdate.  Wear the dog out so he will sleep in his crate quietly.  It worked.

First up, Skylanders Swap Force on the wiiU.

With a popcorn snack.

Quinn\’s friend couldn\’t wait to see Quinn\’s village on Clash of Clans.

Outside for some water play.  I kept an eagle eye on these two near the pool.

Quinn\’s buddy was a little leery of Sonic and I told him that he could squirt Sonic if Sonic was naughty.

Let\’s make it rain!

A great first play date!!
