Great Park


A few weeks ago, James had a business trip to attend in Chicago.  He was flying out on a Saturday morning from the airport in Santa Ana, so we decided to look for something fun (and free!!) to do as a family while we were over that direction (just under an hour from our house).

We decided to try out the balloon ride at Great Park in Irvine.  It is a very large helium balloon that takes you up 400 feet in the air.

It was a gorgeous morning and we had great views from the top.

Next to the balloon ride is the carousel.  The kids wanted to go over and over and over again.

Grandma and Papa Finlay were also able to join us for the fun that morning.

Before leaving we stopped at the learning gardens.

the kids were put in charge of feeding the chickens some cabbage leaves 

and had a chance to see and touch one up close.
