LACMA - Free Kid's Membership
We headed out to the Zimmer Museum today because we had a Living Social coupon that was about to expire. We finally got there and were turned away because they were to crowded. They were very generous and gave us a FREE family admission pass to come back!!
The kids were disappointed, so we scrambled to find something else do in Los Angeles that was kid friendly. It was decided that we were close enough to the La Brea Tar Pits to pay them a visit. While walking, we spotted the LACMA museum. They were having their Family Sunday day where kids could make crafts. The theme was the Zodiac. My youngest made a headband and colored her zodiac sign of the pig. My oldest made a cute rabbit puppet out of paper and a Chinese take-out box. Her sign is not really a rabbit; but she liked it better than her sign of the monkey. When they were finished with crafts, I stopped at a sign-up table to get both girls free membership to the museum which included a free adult for each girl. Their membership is free until they are 18.
I'm not a big fan of art museums; although I do like some contemporary art. This museum had 4 art pieces that I really liked. Yes, just 4! One is a giant balloon animal shaped like a dog. Another was 2 animal floaty rings climbing a chain link fence. The best exhibit was the Metropolis (?). It's a giant speedway that has 1500 matchbox cars racing around a track along with 19 trains going around. That was pretty fun to watch.
It turned out to be a fun and unexpected adventure.

Legoland California
Our family was due back for another Legoland trip. The last time we were there was on my oldest 4th birthday. She is now 7 and my youngest is 4. We decided to come and celebrate both their birthdays since they are 6 weeks apart. Our day was spent half driving and the other half at Legoland. It took us 2 1/2 hrs to get there and an excruciating 4 hrs. to get back which included a dinner stop at In & Out, YUM! Even with TVs in the car the girls managed to complain the whole way home. Still, we did save money by not staying in a hotel.
I never pay full price for any amusement park; so I got some coupons on ebay to get the kids in free with adult admission. We saved about $120! We also brought sack lunches to eat inside to save even more.
Legoland was decorated for Halloween with pumpkins everywhere, a giant lego pumpkin to take pictures in, a giant ghost, hay stacks and other festive items. It was not crowded at all. The longest line was about 5 min. long at the Dragon roller coaster. This was my oldest favorite ride along with the horses that take you along the track. My youngest went on that horse ride 6 times and still wasn't tired of it. We even saw a guy roller blading along the pathway. That's how few people there were. You can't do that at Disneyland! My oldest was in heaven at Mini Town. She loves Playmobil and has a world of it in her room. Her eyes lit up when she saw several towns of miniatures.
I wish I wasn't so frugal so I could have bought the Granny Smith Apple Fries with Vanilla Cream on top. It looked soooo delicious; but it cost $5! I had to walk away.
Overall, it was a fun day at Legoland.
