Irvine- small town fun!

Okay, I don't have pictures, but my words will have to describe what we did tonight as a family.

We first took the dog to Central Bark for some fun, puppy time. It was kind of mellow there- not too many dogs and there was a nice breeze. After about 45 minutes there we headed to Knowlwood for some hamburgers. Since we had the dog with us we needed to be able to sit outside and Knowlwood is just the spot. The hamburgers are awesome, the price is right and the atmosphere is great for families. As the train passed while we were leaving, I was reminded of living in a small town and I had to smile!

After dinner we headed to the Great Park where they were celebrating their 6th anniversary. There was an incredible air show, planes to see and go into, a petting zoo, food stands, tons of booths, demonstrations and live music.

On the 4th, Dan and I had ridden our bikes into the park to check out what was new and boy were we impressed. We had been years ago when they first opened the orange balloon, but not much else was there. They now have manicured lawns, walk ways, buildings and some attractions. Tonight it really felt like a fair. I wished over and over that I had thought to bring the camera. I guess this is one activity that we will just have to remember in our minds, but you can be sure that we will go again next year and I WILL have my camera ready!!
