These beautiful rose gardens surround a large fountain.
On the pathways surrounding the Rose Gardens and the Science Center were these large globes dedicated to Environmental Conservatism. Each globe was decorate by hand by a local group or artist. The green globe in the foreground had LED stoplights on it!
Jocelyn in front of the pink globe.
A mask of fruits and vegetables formed this world globe!
Blake's favorite globe of all...the baseball globe!
Which came first - the baby chick or the egg? Two newborn chicks in an incubator surrounded by other nearly hatching chicks. (Brent and Elise Gordon)
Building an earthquake proof tower....this display taught us how triangles are used to build strong buildings that can hold up under strong shakings. We had to build our towers with diagonal trusses to prevent collapsing during simulated earthquakes. 
Brent loved putting together the tinker-toys to build a tower.
Next we visited the Air and Space Exhibit. Here are Jocelyn and Elise in an L.A.P.D. helicopter inside the Air & Space Exhibit.
Mark in front of a turbo jet engine. Very cool display! It showed how air becomes compressed entering on the right, gets heated through the engines, and then is expelled through the exhaust providing strong thrust.
Today was also the annual INS Nationalization Ceremony at the Los Angeles Olympic Coliseum. We were surprised to be parked on the grass in front of the Los Angeles National History Museum until the parking attendant explained this was overflow parking due to the thousands who would be attending the INS Ceremony.
Welcome to America! Welcome to Capitalism! Here a vendor is selling Immigration Certificate covers for $5.00!
Here's something you don't see everyday...a BMW missing its hood but being driven around L.A. like it's no big deal!!!
Oh, it just PAINS me to see a BMW treated like this!
