For our last full day in California, we went boating... on Noah's Ark at the Skirball Museum.  First we went to a room with a crazy lady who told us that it was about to rain... 
I didn't see any rain at first but there were lots of animals made out of crazy things... like fans, bath tubs, and dim sum steamers. 
There was a bell in the middle of the deer... wierd. 
Then we took a HUGE elevator down...  
And then I started to get it... there was a HUGE boat... I'm mean ark...  
Grandma and I made it rain and flood. 
I made the two story tall giraffe's neck move back and forth. 
Davin found a room made out of corn.  Now if any peditricians are reading this and are concerned that a 7 month old is standing up... he stood up all by himself.  Good luck getting him to sit down.  He loves to be tall. 
While Davin was playing, I got to work getting all the animals on the boat so they were safe. 
It was a lot of work, so I met a new friend who helped me. 
Eventually we got all the animals on and I joined Davin in the rooms made out of grains... again, wierd... but fun! 
Did I mention the animals were strange... cool but strange...  
Deeper in the ark there was a rope playground to climb on.   
Davin found some blocks,  
while I climbed...  
and played...  
and played... our 2 hours in the ark went by really fast.   I'm not sure I know what Noah's Ark is, except fun.
Too bad it was our last day in California.  We had lots of fun... the beach, parks, new friends, sleeping in a tent... so much fun.  We can't wait to come back and visit again soon.

Wow!!! What a fabulous place to play and Davin stood up by himself...
On Thursdays, you can get to see the exhibits at the Skirball (405 & Mulholland) for free. You need to call ahead for reservations to the Noah's Ark exhibit so it does not become too crowded. Grandpa and Davin also found a wall with cubbyholes for puppets. We are glad we waited for Dahlia and Davin to go with us. It was much more fun that way.
