Tar Pits and LACMA Field Trip

There's going to be too many pictures this week to do a family journal weekly post, so I'll divide and do a quick separate post.
The kids had Monday off of school.  Technically it was a staff development day, as California doesn't celebrate Columbus Day (known as Indigenous Peoples Day here)

We made plans to take Olivia on a field trip for a birthday date.  She was funny, saying all the animals were 'scary' but she was fascinated by them and kept wanting to look longer.
The kids had so much fun together and wanted to do lots of silly pictures. 
We decided to walk over to the art museum also.  The kids were amazed by this sculpture titled "orange monkey" that looked like it was made with an actual balloon.
Preston was SO excited to find an exhibit of Pablo Picasso
and Jackson Pollock art.  These are two of his favorite artists.  Whenever he makes a mistake when he's trying to do art he decides to turn it into a Picasso or Pollock. :)
The Children's Gallery was a big hit for everyone.  All kinds of art materials which the had a fun time creating with.
We found a perfect spot for a picnic lunch
Toured the grounds of the tar pits a bit more

And ended the adventures by rolling down the hill.
