Our first big outing of the season!

As the weather gets nicer and summer draws nearer, I yearn for the carefree days of going wherever we want, whenever we want. I love going to new places and exploring them with the kids and I also like going back to some of our favorites. Today, we took our first trip of the season, to Gilroy Gardens. This amusement park is perfect because it's small enough to do in a day, has lots of rides for the five and under crowd, and it never gets too packed with people, even during spring break! We went with my friend Melissa and her daughter Clare and we had a great time! Even the trip home, with my two non-stop talkers was funny. :)

Here are a few of my favorite pictures from the day.
