Well, we made it today! After a fabulous, fancy lunch we got to enjoy the exhibit and a beautiful day atop the Santa Monica mountains. The exhibit is extremely well-maintained and well-run and filled with moving animal sculptures, toys and puppets and lots of things to climb on and touch. It was tough to get pictures...most were like this:

Many coveted Oola's Medieval Times hat (a gift from Abba), while Noah enjoyed gnawing his hand and gazing at the rafters filled with beautiful animal sculptures....a great change from the kitchen ceiling, I imagine!
Oola did pause for a moment to hang out with a walrus.....and then she was off! I highly recommend the experience (it's free on Thursdays but you do need to make reservations...and next time I would pack a lunch).
p.s. Noah's post-bath spa routine -- a little rest and relaxation with his favorite toys. Mom -- he LOVES the beating heart and sleeps with it often.......oddly, the bear was from my dentist.....they will do anything to be liked...just kidding....;)
