how is everybody's summer going? we are discovering fun places to explore with the boys this summer. this past sunday, we went here, the la brea tar pits. amazing that all of this is in the middle of a busy city! you can read more interesting facts here.

scary
there were other panels exactly like this one here totalling 404 wolf heads found in the tar pits. pretty amazing.
the picture below here is called the fishbowl. you can see real scientists working on cleaning fossils or putting together bones back.
these are all eagle foots found in the tar pits too........no wonder they're close to extinction.
they have a little garden area outside where we saw some turtles & koi.
we took a walk around the outside to get the whole effect-----tar smell and all! if you click on the photo below, you can see the oily slick of the tar.
brybry having fun walking around w/ his juicebox. i just LOVE that hat on him. my favorite!
apparently, there are still lots of areas to be excavated.
walking around the grounds, this is a common sight. a puddle of tar in the middle of grassy areas.

next door to the tar pits was the LACMA. the boys had fun running zig zag around these 202 old cast iron street lights. look at the little monkey in the back......
of course i was waiting for the 1st boy to run smack into a light post but i am happy to report, neither brandon OR bryan were injured =)
self timers are great, aren't they?

AFTER:
AFTER:the hill is pretty steep so i told the boys not to run down it. so what do they do? run down it. and brybry takes a spill rolling down half the way down. me & hubs were just laughing so hard!!! i guess we really should have helped brybry up BUT, i told him not to run & he did it so he deserved it right? no blood----it was all good. look at brandon's face too....little "i-told-you-so"face!
TFL at all these pics and for stopping by!
