Naina, Dash, Sammie & Catalina

I like the Page Museum it is full of bones but Denise would not let me have one but she did take lots of pictures with me and all the bones. They were working on cleaning some bones of Zed a Mammoth who was found in one of the pits outside the museumSammieCatalina and Columbian Mammoth Fossil Bird found in one of the tar pits Sammie is showing us all the different sizes of Dire Wolf Skulls Naina thinks it is really neat that all these skulls were pulled out of the pits the theory is that the wolfs hunted the stranded animals in the tar and over the generations these are the wolfs that where trapped scavenging the pits Those are some big teeth you have

CatalinaCatalina just thinks it neat being this close to some of her ancestors ahh a Sabertooth Cat Family

The Page also had this really nice garden where one of the docent was feeding the fishes and turtles Dash, Sammie and I really wanted to get close and check the turtle out but there was a fence in the way.Dash Sammie CatalinaL-R Dash (sitting) Naina (sitting) Sammie (in a down) Catalina (in a down) DASH Catalina

After about a 90 minutes in the Page we took a walk down Wilshire Blvd. to IHOP were our raisers had a late breakfast/ early lunch so we took a nap under the table and out of the way. on our way to IHOPTina & NainaCatalina

Now it was time to go to the LACMA for the Pompeii exhibit Denise & I really enjoyed the whole exhibit and would of loved to take some photos of it but it was not allowed for fear of damaging the artifacts.

Once we left the exhibit we found ourselves in the sculpture gardens we even became part of some pieces to. Catalina Naina Sammie and DashBecoming part of the ArtTop Dash & Sammie

On our way back to the cars we took our last look around the grounds at all the different pits and the lake pit there were lots of baby pits just starting to bubble up to the surface so we were careful to avoid them. It was a good day I hope Denise takes me on another adventure soon. Naina Catalina Catalina Sammie and Dash Catalina watching kids roll down the hill Stay and yes someone was up there
