A trip to Gilroy Gardens

We took a quick day trip to a local kiddie-oriented garden theme park today. Maddie, fearless as ever, wanted to go on EVERYTHING we'd allow. Here's a little proof:

On the Merry-Go-Round:

Racing!

Driving a fire truck: (Funny story: see the truck in front of Maddie? The little girl in the back had to share with her sister and stayed in a hunched position for the entire ride.)

On the Flying Balloons:

Again on the Merry-Go-Round:

Road Trip! (yet another)

We recently received the ultimate gift: two weeks off of work (OK, a little work). After Maddie's dads took some long awaited time alone, we returned to pick up our little wonder from her Nana & Papa and Auntie L who spoiled her rotten, headed home, and headed right out again.

Following are a few pics from our road trip to Sonoma..

Maddie by the pool ("be a dear and fetch me a drink"):

We had a great time, and are trying to keep it going, leaving this morning for a day trip to a local kiddie amusement park.
