While Micah ran Ragnar, I took the kids to the Great Park for a little fun on the playground and a ride in the sky.

When we arrived, we were the last people they gave tickets to for the big balloon ride.  I was stoked to get them, because this is our third attempt, and the first two were no go’s because of bad weather.  So hooray for sunshine this day!  Here we are waiting in line with our new buddy Joey who we met at the playground.
(Sidenote:  Scout is awesome at making new friends at the playground.  He always asks if someone wants to play, and ends up having new buddies all over the place.  Apparently he is good — since Joey wanted to pose in our family picture!)

His big boy is already taking the blue spot in the stroller.
Poor Scout is now a walker with mom, and Icka still happily sits in the pink spot.

The weather was nice enough to see where we live — kind of.

Then it was off to the carousel.
Scout insisted on the horse with armor.

Too bad I forgot the Bjorn for Dash, but he loves for me to hold him.

Last stop was the big bike they wanted to ride on.

The Great Park is awesome.  Everything is free, we had nice weather and very little wait time.  It is clean, and they have a farm to check out.  And just to think, we were going to pay $12 to go to the Pet Expo with a million other people and a bunch of nasty fried food.
We obviously chose correctly.
