Spring Break Event 1 - California Great America

We decided to get season passes for California Great America. We felt this was a great deal - to give us something to do all year. The passes we got include CGA, Boomerang Bay (water park) and Gilroy Gardens (a family theme park - lots of kid rides).

On Sunday, April 3rd, we went to CGA. :-) We all had a really good time. We stayed for about 4-5 hours, and the kids rode a lot of rides. We didn't get to everything, but we know we'll be back. With our passes, we got game vouchers. Each of the kids (including Lauren) did the guessing game. We had them guess each child's birth month, which they have to get it within 2 months. They were wrong with all 3, so each one got a stuffed animal. They were all happy!! Lauren had a good time riding some of the rides too. I'm excited to see her grow up and experience more at the parks. :-)

Here are some pics from the park...

One of the first rides we all rode was the carousal.
This was the smaller one, they also have a HUGE 2-story one near the front.

There were plenty of kids rides.
We didn't get to all of them, but we are planning to go back real soon.

The kids LOVED the swings. They also had a bigger one of these, but they really liked this one. Maybe next time, they'll ride the bigger one. This was their favorite ride. It was such a joy seeing their face expressions as they rode - you can really see the excitement!! It made my day!!

Lauren rode a few rides too. Here she is on the carousal.

Getting ready to leave for the day. You can see the 2-story carousal behind us.
It was such a gorgeous day!!
