The Natural History Museum of Los Angeles

Yesterday we went with our friends the Pavones to check out the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles.  Ryder and Eden had been before with Kit's parents, but it was the first time for everyone else.
There was lots to see and do!
Seth was the only one that we could contain in the stroller with snacks...
We capitalized on that.
Eden was in charge of the map, a role that she gave herself:
The kids loved the exhibit halls with all the mammals:
 Ryder runs up to this exhibit of mule deers and shouts, "MOM THESE ARE THE ONES DADDY SHOOTS!!!" (I really didn't have a follow up to that other than yep...)
 Ryder loved all the interactive stuff and ANYTHING that had to do with dinosaurs:
 Angelina was so sweet to talk through things in the cases and displays, while I chased my daughter from here to Timbuktu...
 The kids loved anything that they were allowed to touch and interact with and there was a whole exhibit that was just for that:
She had heard they moved slow, but this was ridiculous...♥
My little guy got excited about everything, but when you put a gun exhibit next to where the paleontologists are cleaning artifacts, you get this expression...
We had headed to the museum after our morning swim lesson and afterwards we headed to dinner at Chic-Fil-A.  Our kids were beat and the mamas weren't much better, but it was a great day and we are so thankful hat we had the time together... 
We love you Ang, Micah, and Seth!
