La Brea Tar Pits and General Conference

Our field trip this week was to the Page Museum and the La Brea Tar Pits. The kids enjoyed seeing the "fake" animals in the water and tar.
Megster is helping the kids feed the "kitty" that helps to support this interesting museum.
To help the kids understand why the animals couldn't get out of the tar pits, the museum has rods stuck in tar that we all tried to pull out.
Here the kids are looking at the skeletal remains of an animal that was stuck in the tar pits.
We tried to convince Mom that the kind of teeth that humans have are more adapted to herbivores.
The kids were engrossed in a very lifelike depiction of an attack by a saber toothed cat on a giant sloth.
We had a great lunch on the grounds of the Page Museum on a beautiful April day.
This past weekend, Alana came home and we all watched General Conference in the family room. Gavin and Coco played with Colorforms and drew pictures of what they were watching.
We had a big family dinner just before Alana headed back up to BYU and her final three weeks of her 2nd year of law school.
