Spring Break Event 6 - Gilroy Gardens

On Saturday, April 9th we went to Gilroy Gardens. Our California Great America passes also gets us in to this park too. It's a little further of a drive, but it's well worth it. There is plenty to see and do there. Perfect for young kids. Jacob is getting a little too big for some of the rides, but there was still a lot he enjoyed. Lots of nature to look at too. Very pretty place. We will definitely be going back!! This was our final day of fun for the week. Sunday, we just relaxed, cleaned house and got ready for a week of normal school stuff. I think overall the kids had a blast on spring break. I really enjoyed taking them out to do stuff. We didn't need to travel, there was plenty for us to do here!

Pics from Gilroy Gardens - and the next post has a video of Ashlyn on a ride...

Another sibling picture. Aren't they sweet looking kids?!?

Another carousal ride. Still fun each time.
This one was so much smaller than any of the others.

Jacob was giving Ash some support when she played her game.
Jacob played one before when Ash was riding a ride that Jacob was too big for.
He won a prize (the Ninja Turtle), so now Ash was trying to win something.

Daddy and the big kids standing in front of a slice of a Redwood Tree.

Circus Tree - there are many of these throughout the park.

Ash on her favorite kind of ride - one that spins!
Unfortunately, Jacob was too big for this one too.

Getting ready to ride the balloon ride.

Riding the balloon ride with Daddy.

He looks kinda grumpy, but he said the ride was a lot of fun. He was just being a silly boy.
This one was a spinning garlic ride. (the ride cars were shaped like garlic)

As you can see, Ash LOVED this one.

Ashlyn gets to drive a car!!

Jacob wanted to drive himself.
