Mommy-Son Day

I decided that instead of spending my day off doing laundry and cleaning the house and birthday planning that it would be more fun to have a special Mommy-Aaden day since he's starting preschool next week. Sometimes it hits me that time is flying by - I just need to set everything aside and enjoy these times because they sure don't stay little forever!

So - we went to Gilroy Gardens. Even though it was really hot, we had a lot of fun!

Not looking too thrilled on these two rides. 

(Even though the firetruck was his favorite in December)

Loved the carousel and the horses!

This is his "smile Aaden" face :-/

On the spinny cups. I wish I could have gone with him,

 he didn't know how to make them spin

Stopping for some lunch

Hot air balloon ride

Love all the flowers at this place!

Love the colors

Waiting in line for the balloons

His first carnival games!

And his prizes

He really, really wanted to do the "ducks" last time

So even though it was 100 degrees, I agreed to take him on the ducks this time

He loved being out on the water

Mommy workin' up a sweat since she's doing all the paddling

Can't complain about the views around here!

Last ride - the strawberries

Lookin' at Mommy like she's a weirdo 

(and rightfully so)

Yeah, seriously, it was HOT!
