Time with Aunt Michelle

 We drove up to L.A. for a overnight stay with Michelle.

On Saturday afternoon we walked to the nearby park and played for awhile and then headed over to
"The Grove" for dinner.

 The next day we wanted to do something close by so we headed to the La Brea Tar Pits. It's really crazy because just a few miles away from Michelle's house in the middle of the city are these bubbling tar pits and a museum with all the fossils they have found and a area where they are still working of fossils they are still finding.

Mark and Michelle remember coming here as kids...and not having a good time. So needless to say, Mark wasn't very excited about the experience but in the end I think he had a good time. At least I know the kids had fun looking at all the fossil exhibits. :)

 The museum is connected to a large park and then the art museum. We walked around some of the outdoor exhibits.

Mark captured this great photo of Dylan reading the art installation information of these cement pieces that are from the Berlin Wall. We were able to have a really good talk about freedom. :)

We had a amazing trip. Can't wait to hopefully do it all again next year!
