a few weeks ago, cam went to the autry museum with school and he was so excited to bring us there.
i didn't put together that it was a western museum, meaning cowboy stuff... which was sooo entertaining for our little cowgirl! look at one of the first things she spotted!
she liked these $1,600.00 boots at the gift shop!
els loved the stagecoach... miracle, i am actually in a photo. hooray for caleb asking to take a pic of us! :)
and years ago, chris and i took this photo of kira at autry:
and here's els! ah the difference of a good camera.. but it doesn't really matter, the subjects are adorable :) i think els might be a little older than kira was in that pic.
then it was off to the la brea tar pits!
the boys found it totally fascinating, i remembered it being alot bigger when i was little, and els was a little frightened of these fellas! and then we heard lots of this phrase when she did see something she liked, i go there?! i go there?!
there ya have it. an exciting day field trip day for the waters. :) today was mellow- library and such. :)
I have to tell you how much I adored the picture of Kira with her Molly doll. My daughter loves Molly and takes her wherever we go...love that pic!

fun and educational! What a great mom you are! That is so cool that you got a picture of Elsie and Kira in the same spot. :)
Did you bring your external flash to the museums with you or did they just have good lighting? I am always so amazed at your lighting. :)
