"God expects you to have enough faith and determination and enough trust in Him to keep moving, keep living, keep rejoicing. In fact, He expects you not simply to face the future (that sounds pretty grim and stoic); He expects you to embrace and shape the future--to love it and rejoice in it and delight in your opportunities."

~Elder Holland, Apostle of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints

Saturdays in January we try to do as many family activities as possible because once tax season starts in Feb. we don't see much of Daddy until after April 15th.  This year we did something as a family every weekend, it was great!  Here are some pictures of what we did and where we went together.

California Science Center Museum

One of several children's special play areas.  Cate is dressed as an astronaut and riding in a space shuttle.
 Very large sound thingy (that's the scientific name :) You can talk in one end and hear it in the other end.
 Kelp forest aquarium tank - looking down from the top
 Airplanes hanging from the ceiling
 Lifting a truck using pulleys and levers!
 We had a lot of fun here, there was a lot to do and see.  We didn't even cover half of it.  Cate didn't understand a lot, but she wasn't bored either.  Best of all - admission is free!  I think parking cost $10 though.  We'll definitely be back.  Next Saturday: Griffith Observatory!
