GIlroy Gardens is awesome!

After breakfast Daddy decided to give Mommy the day off and along with Tim and Turtle took the kids to Gilroy Gardens. It was a pretty warm day, which is typically for Gilroy. This park is perfect for young kids and horticulturists. The day started with a stop at the mini carousel. Its a nice stop off the entry way and you can wind through the gardens and waterfalls as you get further into the park.

There are lots of rides and games for younger kids including the cars on the track. Riley was really excited to get an opportunity to drive. Tim and Turtle rode with Cameron and let her drive as well. To see how well Riley did, check out the video.

While Cameron stays away from the water features at amusement parks, Riley is too young to know why that might be a good idea. Jeff decided to stand under the bucket and Riley was blissfully unaware of what was coming. Check out all the photos to see an incredible shot.

Along with the rides, water features, playgrounds, the kids visited the petting zoo and went shopping for crazy hats. Nobody got a hat, but this one looked really good on Riley.
