November Road Trip - Day 6: California Science Center and Venice Beach

On our second day in California, we took a break from the theme parks and went to LA to the California Science Center. Here, Phil, with some help from Lucy and Charlie, lifts a truck off the ground.

Lucy and some bugs.

The girls snowmobiling through the Arctic.

Touching the ice wall.

Charlie takes a turn on the snowmobile.

Lucy and Chloe loved this outdoor garden in the Kids' Play Area. Such a cool idea to use bark mulch so they don't get dirty!

Planting carrots for the bunnies.

After a quick lunch, we headed over to Venice Beach to play in the sand.

We had to climb over a big sand hill parallel to the beach.

And on the other side was the ocean!

Charlie and Lucy went straight for the surf while Chloe hesitated...

But soon, they were all trying to outrun the surf.




Loving the feeling of bare feet in squishy sand!

And waves splashing over feet...



We went for a walk on the pier and saw dolphins jumping out of the water, which we didn't get a picture of. But we did get a picture of this sea gull...






Climbing up the sand hill.

On top of the sand hill.

Time to go home...
