Day 45:

Free Admission Day at the
Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County
Woo hoo, we love free! This was the first REAL Museum that I've ever taken Max to...I was excited to see how it was. Can you tell that he loved it by this picture: When we first got there, we toured around the Animals of Africa and the Animals of North America rooms...there were a ton of awesome animals to see, very real looking...uh, were they real? (now that I'm thinking about it, I guess they could have been...whatever) but it was extremely dark in there, and loud and there were lots of people...so I think Max was scared. Then I took him out to sit in front of a ginormous T-rex...hmmm, screaming ensued. Anyways, then we went downstairs to see the insects and the childrens area:
and we dug for dinosaurs, and got to try to help put a skeleton together...
He got to hold crabs and lobsters, touch shells and huge crystals. We saw a million bugs, tarantulas, scorpions, millipedes, cockroaches, snakes, turtles, lizards, you-name-it. There were fun insect puppets to play with, puzzles to do, animal skins to pet...holy cow, so much! We gave Hailey and Becky a little taste of Max...I'm sure Becky is glad she's got a Hailey and not a Max after watching him run around like a ca-razy guy all over the place!This was a pretty amazing place for kids... Isn't Hailey so stinkin' cute...can't get enough of that little one!
Anyways, by the time we reached the childrens area, Max was a happy camper, Ivy was a doll, as usual...We had such a fun time! After we got home, we were eating a bowl of cheerios when all of a sudden, Max came to attention...he heard the joyous music of you know who... So he got the Great White Shark Popsicle...shark, of course!
and loved every lick!
Another fun day!
