A day at Gilroy Gardens

My pal Amanda is visiting family in the bay area. She lives in Charlotte and we met on a scrapbooking message board. Last summer I went to a retreat she planned for a few of us there. Today we hung out at Gilroy Gardens with our kids. SOOOOOOO hot but the kids got along so well. It was amazing how quickly they hit it off!

The tortoises were so cool -- there were two and their names were Speedbump and

Noah on the artichoke ride (not fast enough for him...Hana on the other hand said it was "just my speed")...such opposite kids

On the spinning garlic ride...combination of the teacups ride at Disneyland and the spinning ladybugs at CA Adventure...just way faster. *barf*

At the end of the day when we had all melted away...
