La Brea Tarpits

La Brea Tarpits

Today Savannah was off of school in observance of Lincoln’s Birthday.  So today I planned a fun day for the girls at La Brea Tarpits.

I negotiated a discount group rate for La Habra Moms Club.   About 12 other children and 6 other moms joined us.  It was a lot of fun.

The girls got to see skeletons of saber tooth tigers, mammoth elephant, and all sorts of different prehistoric animals.    We saw a very interesting educational film about the theory of how the prehistoric animals got stuck in 4 inches of tar and how they ceased because they couldn’t get themselves out of the tar because it was so sticky.  We also saw a real excavation in action!  It was about 20 feet deep and they had an observation deck.

Afterwards, my friend Corrie and her kids came over for lunch and a play date.  It was a fun day!
