We went to the Redondo Beach Sea Lab for a preschool field trip this morning. It is a small place right by the beach were we got to see and touch some neat things. We saw crabs, baby sharks, sea slugs, sea cucumbers, sea stars and halibut. The Halibut were so cool. I didn't realize they were the fish that lie on their sides with both their eyes on one side (like on Nemo). They are weird looking. They bury themselves in the sand and we couldn't see them very well until they started feeding them. It was really cool.
We also heard stories, sang a song and colored our own sea stars. Carter loved using the magnifying glass to look at the sea stars. And they both liked using them as glasses! 
After the Sea Lab we went to McDonalds for lunch with a few other kids from the class. We arrived at McDonalds only to find that their power was off. It was kinda odd. We let the kids play for about 15 min. and then it came back on so we had some lunch and played some more. All this fun meant good naps for everyone which means a late night for everyone too except poor Daddy who didn't get a nap and is working a long day:(.

That looks like such a fun place, I will have to remember it the next time I am in LA. Love the magnifying glass pictures, so cute that they put them on their eyes.
