Dino Camp!

The kids' summer camps are in full swing! This past week, they went to camps at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County in downtown L.A. Deacon's camp was called Dino Mite, and Maren went Into The Forest.

Since I was in class with Maren, I didn't get many pictures of Deacon in his class... here he is at the start of class on Friday.

Then, we went out to the Pavilion of Wings to check out the butterflies!

Looks like Maren inherited my "gift" for picture taking. She cuts off the tops of peoples heads too!!! That's my girl!!

One of the many benefits of living in L.A.

For the record, I think it's great you are exposing the kids to so many science and cultural experiences while they're young...and mom and dad can have fun too. It's win win!

Love Michelle
