Vasona Park

Our family was due for some serious family time! Life has been insane and I hope that we're on the downhill nowadays, because I am exhausted! We took advantage of having no obligations this past weekend and we filled Saturday up with a couple fun activities. In the morning, we went to Vasona park. It's a great, big park with multiple playgrounds, a creek, a train and a carousel. Every Christmas season, they set up a fun light display for people to drive through and enjoy. We've been the last two years. Saturday's weather was perfect! We saw ducklings and goslings swimming in the creek - very exciting! We rode the train and carousel. We walked around and played. Mostly we enjoyed ourselves and let some of the stress of the past month melt away. My face hurt from smiling so much (and probably from my insane adult acne as well). It was a very satisifying morning. After naps, we took the girls to Great America (we have seasons passes). That was really fun, but also really crowded and unfortunately Greta had a big melt down. But c'est la vie, it all turned out just fine. Overall a great day! I was so grateful to just spend a day with Conor finally!
