Hello all you out there!!! So I bet you’re dying to know what I’ve been up to? Well, as usual I have been very busy with dinosaurs, mammoths, and blushing brides, oh my! I think I’ll keep this post to the dinosaurs and mammoths though :).
On September 3rd…wow is time flying by or what?!…we went to the Natural History Museum in Los Angeles. This trip was prompted by the movie Night at the Museum and Romans fondness for dinosaurs. Well its more of an obsession really. My days are filled with talks about dinosaurs, or hell just talking to imaginary dinosaurs that are sitting on top of the house or next to us at dinner. I digress…
Do you see the pitiful look on his face? It looks like he’s hating life. The only thing he was hating at the moment was that he couldn’t ride the T-Rex like the kid does in the movie. He lives a hard life I know.
Almost a smile here. Lol! Oh my…
Once he got over that little reality check it was all good. The museum was beautiful and much bigger than I expected.
This is one of my favorite photo’s from the whole day. I love catching him when he’s in his own world. He may not be looking at me but I know exactly what he’s thinking and feeling.
The next day we headed to the La Brea Tar Pits. No dinosaurs, but plenty of prehistoric creatures!
Roman and Sal are pushing a rod into tar. I was amazed that there was tar coming up in the middle of LA. It smelled kinda…well, like tar.
Here’s Roman with Manny :). He had such a good time and keeps asking to go back. I just got an invitation to a Halloween event being held there and I’m thinking we might go.
On an other note….Im nearing my one year mark. Oct 6th is it people! I will be turning the big 30! So much has changed, yet so much has remained the same! I plan on doing at least two more posts before than. Hey…that will make it the most I’ve blogged in a couple of months! Hehe. One post will be a tutorial on sun flares. Ill do that tomorrow, and of course, one will be on my birthday. I cant believe it’s almost here!

Yay! I’m excited that you’re doing a post on sun flare!…and you’re turning 30! I’m 34 now, and I’ll tell ya – being in your 30’s is way better than your 20’s. Hope you have something good planned. 🙂

How funny – I was just thinking about you this morning, wondering what you were up to! 😉 These are great photos – I especially love the b&w of Roman peering through the hole. Catching kids in their own world make some of the best images! Turning 30 isn’t so bad – I agree with Jolene, it is a lot better than my 20’s (I just turned 35)!
