Today we went to Gilroy Gardens with the Kim/Arena clan. The weather was beautiful, the place was really sweet, the kids were wonderful the adults were somewhat well behaved (just kidding) and we had a great time. It was nice to be somewhere local where none of us had ever been. Ella of course had a blast being with her best buddies. Ella loved all the rides and she loved the water part of the park too. I have a lot of pictures to post now. We drove out there in separate cars – at this very moment, Ella spotted the Kim/Arenas walking through the parking lot. Sweet Stella. KJ getting comfortable in his stroller. Waiting on line for the strawberry ride. Walking to the next ride. Having fun on the fish ride. Ella hitched a ride with KJ. So sweet. Firetruck fun. Giving high fives to mommy. FUn fun fun at the water park. THe kids loved getting the water dumped on their heads and Ella loved the slide. At one point, a big kid accused her of cutting (she didn’t – I was watching the whole thing) and she looked him straight in the eye, put up her fist and said, “I DID NOT CUT”. He kind of looked at her in shock and turned around. At least we know that Ella can take care of herself! Dippin’ dots. Ella making a wish. I asked her what her wish was and she said that she wished for the rest of her Annie costume to arrive. Here we are on the apple and the worm ride. Our last ride – a very sweet boat ride that was way too short and the line to get on the ride was way too long but we all still had a sweet ride. The kids were more patient than the adults! Last shot of the day…Ella and her new duck that she named Lilah.
Ella on the kiddie rides reminded me of you at Palisades Amusement Park when you were Ella’s age (Maybe younger?). I love seeing all the pictures. Looks like you had a great time. Love you. Mom
