On Tuesday Lily and I headed into L.A. to visit the Natural History Museum. Who knew you could barrel through that thing in two hours? I guess when you don't stop to read anything it moves pretty quickly.
In the hall of mammals we identified the animals and imitated their sounds. But the dinosaur exhibits were all the rage with the visiting school groups. And while Lily couldn't care less about dinosaurs (in fact, she cried a little when I pointed to the giant skeleton above us,) she wanted to be where the children were. Below she watched through the glass as a boy tried on the baby triceratops outfit.

She grabbed a tooth of the model t-rex and then promptly walked away.

The museum had a visiting butterfly exhibit that I was pretty excited to take Lily to. I paid the extra for our pass, waited in line, and pointed out butterflies and caterpillars. She was much more interested in the mobiles set up to recognize exhibit donors.

She is a sweet girl, though. She loves earrings and always touches them and says pretty no matter how simple they may be.

One good shot with a skeleton in the back.

You think she is roaring like the tiger but it is actually a yawn. This was our last exhibit and she was ready to go.

We took advantage of the picnic area to eat our snacks before heading back to the hotel for nap time.

Her first juice box and she sucked that sweet nectar down before I could break out the goldfish and blueberries. Mmmm, sugar.
