Most of the Day Spent at Parks
I went for a bike ride this morning with a friend. We took a long bike ride. I think it was about an hour and 15 minutes. I was dying but it was good for me! We went to the Irvine Regional Park as they were having an anniversary celebration. The kids had a great time. First we went into the bounce house. They had fun bouncing around. Of course we had to go on the train. The kids wanted to sit next to daddy on the train. Comes Sunday the kiddos get really attached to daddy. After the train ride Justin decided he wanted to go on a pony ride. Yeah Justin! It was so cute to watch him. He was kind of indifferent to the idea of riding it. When Nicole saw Justin she wanted to do it too. We bought her a ticket and she decided she didn’t want to go. We will try again next time. Then we walked to see the ducks. On the way to where we were going to picnic, there was a play ground. We let the kiddos play for a bit. It was nice to have a picnic in the park with the kiddos. Nicole didn’t want to sit on the grass, she wanted my lap. Of course they didn’t eat much until we put them in the stroller. We strolled through the OC zoo real quick. We were running out of time. We saw bears, coyotes, llamas, etc. Came home and we all took a nap. After nap we decided to take the kids and their tricycles to Castle Park. They first biked around the park. Justin is loving to be able to pedal now. They gathered pine cones and put them in the back of their bikes. Then we went to the play area for a while. The kiddos had fun. We decided to take the kiddos to Red Robin for dinner. They were really well behaved, so we took them to get dairy Queen. They loved it! We played on the escalators and by the fountains. The kiddos were pretty hyper tonight. It is about 9:30 and I think Justin just fell asleep-Nicole is still awake.
