bravo farms

if you haven't visited bravo farms  in traver, ca. you should.  it's a fun place for kids and adults; not like disneyland but it's a fun stop going north (or south) on hwy. 99.  they're known for their homemade cheeses, gift shop, restaurant, petting zoo and the cutest tree house.  the petting zoo only offers some goats and a sheep but the kids loved it anyway.  let's get to what i loved:  i loved the different cheeses, gourmet foods and the gift shop.  ever heard of stonewall kitchen?  well, they carry their specialty foods there; i was so excited!  while the weather is still cool i suggest a visit to this cute little place in the central valley.

spring break!!

i know this is a little late...but, we had so much fun on spring break!

we took the kids to Knott's Berry Farm, and

Disney Land! it had been years sense i had been to

Knott's Berry farm and we thought the kid's might

like it. the initial plan was to go to Universal Studio's as well.

but, we soon realized Disney Land would be better for our 2 younger

chickens. so, saturday morning we loaded the kids up

and headed on over to Disney Land. It was soo worth it.

we go about every 6 months and it NEVER gets old.



everyone loves cotton candy!

fun!

we went on a train ride...she was a little frazzled and tired at this point.

we swam at the hotel pool...he loved the spa.

playing in the water!

Disney Land!!

on the Winnie the Pooh ride!

he did a lot of this and eating. (he was such a sport)

we HAD to see Tinker Bell and her friend!

walking through the castle.

Mary Poppins walked her across the street. (i love that the characters are TOTALLY in character.)
