LACMA
When Greg’s Dad said he wanted to go to LACMA for his birthday celebration we were all excited for the adventure. Yes we love museums, and were once good about making the rounds to a few each year when the girls were littler. These days with busy schedules we haven’t been enough. We went to specifically see the Metropolis II exhibit (don’t watch the video, I say see it live and it will be more fun) but the California Design: Living in a Modern Way exhibit was right up my alley too. We saw just a bit of the permanent collection and were off to Canter’s for an early dinner. I bought several of the Chocolate Danishes which were some of my favorite treats from childhood. My Mom grew up in LA and each time we would come down as a kids would would make a stop at one of the iconic Jewish delis for her to load up on some of her favorite baked goods (sadly Canter’s is one of the few left). It was a fun day and left me wanting more museum trips. Although I must say there is a certain terror that runs through me when I see my child dashing towards a Warhol, Rothko or Koons. I’m sure some damage has been done to some uber famous piece of art in one of these spaces – please don’t let that ever be my kid!!
LACMA runs a Nexgen Art program offering free membership for kids and we will sign up on our next trip.


Watching the cars start going is pretty cool – notice the blur below:



It got pretty crowded close to go time, you can watch from above and at ground level. In true LA fashion we had a star sighting – Jack Black was there taking photos with his iphone just like the rest of us.





Learning from Mr. Walt Disney

Really interested in learning about the Barbie dream house.


























We are getting some use out of these dresses as seen on 










































After P was saddled up I realized this was her first pony ride.



Above our attempt at the ever elusive group photo!








We may have overdone the sugar a bit too much before the shot above!


There was a photo of C running during her soccer game with her tongue out and here it is again- lovely!
