The first adventure in California......

The first adventure in California. The fist day we took a trip down highway 1. This is the coast highway in California. It takes you thru Malibu, which Taylor thought was kind of cool to go thru. We stopped at the beach to show the kids the seals and dolphins that were out in the ocean. There was a few of them. Not many. This started my picture taking...And let me tell you, I took some pictures. Way too many to put all of them on the blog. But it was fun just to take pictures. Here are the ocean scenes in Malibu.

California Coast in Malibu.....

Then we were off to the La Brea Tarpits. That was a lot of fun to go to. We met up with my sister and her daughter. They crashed our vacation. It was a lot of fun to have them along on our adventures thru the week. La Brea Tarpits are alot of fun to go and see. This is were they are digging up Dinosaur bones from the tarpits. We had fun walking thru the museum and looking at the different dinosaurs that they have found so far. We also got to see where they clean the bones off...And one of the tarpits that they are working on right now.

Taylor, Christopher, and Anna trying to pull the rods out of tar. This is to show why the dinosaurs could not free themselves from the tar. It was real hard to pull the handles up in the tar.

I took this pictures to show just how big this bone was compared to Devin. This is a part of a leg bone to a Dinosaur. Big bone. At least I thought it was. Yes we don have Devin on a leash. He is a very fast two year old, and can play houdini very well. He will disappear in a flash.

This is a footprint. I definately would not want to get squished by this dinosaur.

This is one of the tarpits that they are working in right now. How would you like this for a job.
