Justin had a couple days off last week so we decided to make the most off it by taking in a few activities. On Monday we went to the Museum of Natural History next to USC. I was super excited to go since I'm a big fan of dinosaurs, and was so upset when we got there and read a sign telling us the dinosaur hall is closed for remodeling! They did have these two dinosaurs in the entrance, which were a tribute to the triceratops which will soon be leaving the museum. The dinosaurs are huge, it's so cool! So here's some pictures of our day.
The museum has a discovery center which was pretty fun to explore. This top picture is Justin checking out the teeth on some animals. Later he was super interested in all the bugs and insects they had on display. I would have taken a picture, but I really couldn't stomach to look at all the bugs. Although Justin said they were pretty cool.
The discovery center also had a bunch of furs on display which were a little creepy. I thought the skunk one would look appropriate since we do live near the marsh! It made me realize that even if I were to become rich and famous one day I still wouldn't wear furs!!
This last picture is the fossil of a triceratops head which was found in Montana recently. A group of paleontologists are working to preserve the fossil so it can be shipped across country to go on display. And seriously how cool would that be to work as a paleontologist!

I didn't know you were such a big dinosaur fan Kim! I guess that's why Brody has dinosaurs in his room huh?
I just want to introduce him to some history! Just kidding, of course I picked out the room decor, and it's soo cute! I bet your kids will have pirate room for the boys and disney princesses for the girls!
Austin would love this, he is sooo into dinosaurs right now, even watches some Discovery shows with dinos and loves them.
