Mom and I took the girls to the Getty Museum today. I had never been before (since I'm not much of a cultured gal), but she said it had nice gardens and the kids would like it. Amy took the boys to the Pier to ride the roller coaster while we were on our adventure.

The tram ride up was good, and the kids were all in good spirits for the first 10 minutes until Miranda ran down a hill, fell and hit her lip on the pavement pretty damn hard. It swelled up and she pretty cried the rest of the day. After 20 minutes or so of her crying in my arms, I was ready to pack it in and go back to the car, but Mom was a trooper and dealt with her while I went off with the other two to explore. It was quite a garden and it took all of Elizabeth's super powers to not touch everything, pick every flower, and move every pebble.
















After some snacks and more running around, we went up to a small room for kids where they a bed like one in the museum for the kids to sit on to read books and another room where they got to put big tubes in slots in the wall. They also made masks and actually wore them a bit too.










Then we had lunch and went home. Within minutes of being in the car, they all passed out. All of Miranda's screaming caught up with her. It would have been a lovely day had Miranda not gotten hurt. Oh well.
