Our fun day started at the La Brea Tar Pits. Taylor loved the large mastodon skeletons, wall of wolf skulls, sabertooth cats and the giant sloths. But he especially liked the animatronic sabertooth cat eating the giant sloth. We walked to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) and saw the huge rock and played in the light poles out front. We also had curry tacos and french fries at the food trucks in front of the LACMA. Then we saw this huge sign for the new movie about Jackie Robinson, "42" and had to take our picture in front of it. It was just a great day with the kid.

Taylor's first bike ride...
This took him about 20mins on the grass, 15mins on the cement...and he had it.
He's never used training wheels...
And about 5mins after he rode his bike for the first time...Cozy tries a trick on his second bike ride ever...takes his feet off the pedals, and puts them on the center bar...puts his feet back on the pedals and slows himself down with the brakes...
...And then this happened on Day 2 of riding a bike.
It wasn't as bad as it looked. There was a collision between Cozy and Grace.
Taylor cried for a little bit...I told him to stop crying, and he did. The kid is as tough as nails...

A day hike...
It was a clear day for our morning hike up Colby Trail in Glendora. That's Los Angeles in the background on the right. Beyond that is the ocean.
