La Habra Children's Museum

La Habra Children's Museum has been offering free admission on the first Saturday of the month thanks to Target. Today we were able to take advantage of the deal and visit for our first time. It was small, but cute. We went through it all in about 35 minutes, mainly because k didn't want to do the involved activities, like playing dress up, etc.

I was getting frustrated because k didn't immediately want to explore and look at everything like all of the other kids. I just have to remind myself that it takes her a while to warm up to things, and that is OK.


Watching D fill the car up.


Debating whether to buy a pretzel at the grocery store.


There is a part of a real OCTD bus inside.






The kids can pet the animals, "in the direction the fur grows"--kind of gross. Of course, k didn't want to. She was interested in the fish tank, though, so maybe a trip to the aquarium again is in order.

k's favorite toy of the day. She also like the small blue couch in the play kitchen area.




There was also a nice little playground outside. I was keeping my eye out for Octomom, since we were in La Habra, but no sightings.

Oh, and on our way there I spotted The Hat, a famous pastrami place. D's been there with co-workers, but I had never been, so on our way back we went through the drive-thru. We ordered 1 pastrami dip sandwich and 1 order of onion rings. The bread for the sandwich is not that big, but they put a LOT of meat in it. Since I like a lower meat to bread ratio, we just added the extra meat to sandwich bread at home. So, the one sandwich filled us all up, plus we couldn't even finish the one order of onion rings. I also noted that they gave us 20 packets of ketchup. Is that really necessary? They could cut down on their variable costs considerably by limiting their ketchup distribution.
