Kid Space Children's Museum

After our vacation was swallowed up by repairs at Harmony and Harabagee's house, we were determined to get away at least for a half day of recreation in L.A.  We decided to make use of our Science Museum membership with its reciprocity agreements with member facilities.  This makes it free to go to some of the Southern California museums.

We arrived at the Rose Bowl stadium at 11.  It was a beautiful gorgeous day today and we took a few side roads through Pasadena to see some of the lovely homes and gardens and then out of nowhere, popped out at the entry to the stadium.  There was a regional lacrosse tournament happening on the grounds with lots of families and cars and umbrellas.

The kids had a blast at the museum - atleast the three younger kiddos.  There's not much to do for a 14 year old.  But Morgan did her best to smile and not complain.  We did a workshop on origami, talked about lifecycles of plants, watched a demonstration with a bearded dragon and enjoyed the gardens with the physics activities - lever, balance, climb wall, the tricycle path and other activites.  Our only spending was a nice lunch of pizza and french fries.

When we felt it was getting too hot we piled back in the car for an easy drive back from Pasadena to Rowland Heights.  A perfect Sunday getaway.
