La Brea Tar Pits

On Tuesday of their visit, my Dad took us all up to the La Brea Tar Pits. It was a really neat place with all the fossils of animals that were stuck in the Tar Pits. And...you could watch workers clean fossils that were newly found in the pits. They are working on a Columbian Mammoth named Zed right now.

The pelvic bone of a mammoth. All I can say is it would have been a lot easier to give birth with a pelvis that big!

A really big mammoth.

A Condor.

Eeek! That Sabertooth tiger is about to eat Eden.

A Tar Pit that they've been working on since like 1915. The flags mark where things are that they've found and are working on getting out.

Grandpa making Eden a penny for her collection.

And on the way home we stopped at the L.A. Temple since it was just down the road.
