The Great Orange Park and Balboa Beach

 Today was the kids last week day off during winter break. I wanted to take the kids to the The Great Orange park to go on the helium balloon. I took them here once before, but of course it was closed that day.

 After we signed in we had a little picnic lunch while we waited for our turn.

 Getting ready to go on the balloon.


 Here we are going up in the sky!

 Logan as we are going up.

 Sadie was a little scared as we were going up she said, "Ok, lets go now." She eventually relaxed and enjoyed herself.

 That's where we ate lunch.

 Blake pointed out our shadow. The kids loved watching our shadow, and looking for our car.
 Here we are. The balloon goes 400 feet up into the air.

 After the helium balloon we went on the carousel.

 Sadie is not a fan of carousels, she doesn't like the up and down motion. Sadie and I just sat on the bench.

 The second time Blake wanted to ride on the white tiger.

 Logan wanted to ride the bird.

 After the park we went to the beach. Logan has been asking to go to the beach, so we went to Balboa. 

 The kids had so much fun! They were so excited to be at the beach. Our family loves the beach. The weather was perfect, the kids even went in the water. Blake had fun digging for sand crabs, and playing football with me.


 Sadie ran around the whole time, she was so happy!

Logan loved jumping in the water, and rolling around in the sand. Today was a perfect day! I am ready for summer vacation!
