Sunday Update
May 31 Tonight's Sunday Update runs a little short, because our Summer Adventure Guide is right around the corner...look for it tomorrow morning in your inbox! Be sure to click through to our Summer Survey to let us know what you think about Mommy Adventure Club and what we can do more (or less) of. Free Museum Days The Natural History Family of Museums and the Pasadena Museum of California Art For hand's on experiences that let children explore the natural world around them, turn to the Natural History Family of Museums of Los Angeles County. This includes the famous La Brea Tar Pits/Page Museum and Natural History Museum, and the little known William S. Hart Museum in Newhall. Page/ La Brea Tarpits Free Tuesday, June 2 Combine this trip with a reading of "Danny and the Dinosaur"...and be sure to go find the latest edition to the fossil family, ZED Natural History Museum Free Tuesday, June 2 If you have a baby or toddler, be sure to visit the Discovery Room! Full of hand's on displays and activities that they can touch. Next to the cafeteria, too. William S. Hart Ranch Museum Always Free! See the buffalo roam (really!) at this former ranch of western movie star William S. Hart. A small zoo, an easy hill to hike, and huge picnic areas make this a delightful way to escape the city and catch your breath. ALSO... Pasadena Museum of California Art Free Friday, June 5 With two exciting new exhibits opening this week, this would be a lovely outing to enjoy with girlfriends...babies, too!

Thursday, June 4, 5:00 I don't usually put in storytimes from the "big box" stores...but this is at a time of day when moms get desperate, in a shopping complex with Starbucks, Jamba Juice, Ralph's and Pure Beauty. Heaven. And remember... "A caffeinated mom is a good mom." PLAN AHEAD! Get the Beat, Manhattan Beach Library Wednesday, June 10, 4:00pm "Learn all about drums: the art of them and the sound of them with amazing drummer, Marcus Miller." Ages 4 & Up Parks to Try Get wet!
