California Vacation Day 3

Sunday, June 28th: 

We woke up and went to a 9am church not far from our hotel. The Mar Vista ward. The ward didn't have many people in it. I enjoyed the talks, one was about family history. After sacrament we left and got changed at the hotel and checked out then drove to the Page Museum at the La Brea tar pits. We spent the whole afternoon walking around. We watched a 3D movie, a presentation with a life size sabre tooth cat puppet with someone walking in the suit. It's head was stuck to one side and the presenter had to tuck some chords back in it through it's bum hole. The kids thought that was funny. We also took the tour around the place. It's interesting to see what kind of animals have been found in the asphalt. All the ice age type animals, mammoths, mastodons, sabre tooths, horses, bison, giant sloths, camels, dire wolves, giant jaguars and many kinds of birds. We ate lunch from food we brought with us in our cooler and from home. We sat on grass outside the museum. Then we drove the 45 minute or so trip to our next hotel in Valencia close to Magic Mountain. It is an Embassy suites hotel and is very nice. Has a living room and bedroom. The 3 younger ones slept on a sofa bed. We relaxed a while then the kids went swimming while Candi and I went and got dinner from Panda Express and Walmart.
