La Brea Tar Pits




We had our first official field trip as a homeschool family a couple of weeks ago! We headed out to the La Brea Tar Pits and the Page Museum. We were pleasantly surprised when Dad decided to come along. It was an easy drive down there and the kids all had a great time. I have to admit that I never saw tar bubbling up out of the Earth before! It's pretty cool how we have all of these fossils just waiting to be dug up right in the middle of the Wilshire District! The kids are standing in front of a skeleton of a Mastodon. I think it is a relative to the Elephant. It was a great day!
