Refinished Chest

I finally got a day off! Time to catch up on some old projects. I started to refinish a couple of chests for Laura to use. She like old stuff and these were old. A friend gave them to us and they were his mothers and told us to put them to good use. The other one is done, but I need Laura to clean it off and let me take pictures.

La Brea Tar Pits and Page Museum

We told Sean and Brendan we would take the to do something for their birthday this last week. We took the four boys to LA and went to the Tar Pits.

I told the boys that I need bamboo sticks to build me a vine holder like this. Hummm could you see a pumpkin hanging from here?

The guys got some hands on trying to pull the rods out of the tar.


And of course Louise was looking cute today as always.

They had the bones of big cats on display. We even went out the the observation pits to see where they were working this last summer (they only dig in the summer). It looks like a messy job!
