La.bor Day (noun)
a public holiday or day of festivities held in honor of working people

We definitely deserve a Labor Day or two. As the kids get older, work (our careers and our real jobs of taking care of the kids), seem to get tougher and more abundant. On this bright September day, we decided to visit a place we hadn’t been before. We decided to go to the Pasadena Kidspace Children’s Museum. From the website, it seems to be a smaller version of Liberty Science Center, but with more outdoor activities (we are in California after all).

Considering this was a last minute day-trip, I’d consider it pretty successful. Both kids tried the different activities, both kids ate fairly well, both kids only got semi-dirty, and both parents were able to not lose their cool. In total, this was a recipe good enough for us to purchase a year-long membership (yes, we can be suckers sometimes).

In an even trade, we’ll likely alternate this venue with the Natural History Museum to give the kids a nice balance of science, outdoor activities, and flying reptiles. If that doesn’t work, maybe we can all wish for an extra Labor Day next year.

Nothing like making other people work on Labor Day
