I had a random vacation day on Friday (thanks, school district budget cuts!) so I decided to find something fun for Emma & I to go do. I found out about a place called the Western Science Center out in Hemet and we decided to check it out. Grandma came with us too. This place was very small, but nice. There were a few fossils and some Indian artifacts (arrowheads and such) that had been excavated from the area. They also had a "Be the Dino" exhibit where you got to play a video game and try to keep your dinosaur alive. You will all be pleased to know that Triceratops Angela successfully survived the Cretaceous period! Lol. Everything there was very hands-on, which was nice. Emma spent quite a bit of time doing crayon rubbings of the plaques at each of the animal fossil exhibits and she even got to make a plaster cast of a sabre-toothed-cat fang, after getting to touch a real one. We finished up the morning with some Italian food for lunch at a nice little restaurant called That's Amore. I think Emma liked her tomato rose garnish the best.
