Family Outings

Adventure City!!!!!

Posted on September 14, 2016 4 Comments

This summer right before the school year started. I took our kids on a last summer outing over to Adventure City in Anaheim Ca. But….. since we always seem to have great weather we will definitely be back on a weekend 🙂

We’ve been to Adventure City before and really loved it! It’s a perfect place for a day outing. Adventure City is a small Amusement Park where all the younger kids can all have a great time. Our kids ages 4,7 and 9 and they absolutely love this place.

First off the Parking is FREE!!! and very close to the entrance. As soon as you walk in, you will notice how clean and well taken care of this park is. Everything is nice and bright and there’s lots of beautiful flowers and plants all around the park.

We like to start on one side of the park and go all the way around so we try every ride.

As we make our way, we see the Show times Board and keep those times in mind while going about our day 🙂

One of the kids favorites is the School Bus, our four year old didn’t want to get on so I stayed behind while grandma and the kids rode.

Our Little guy loves this Train!!!

Riding the Train is a great one to try early in your visit because it takes you all around the park and you can get a feeling of everything else you will experience later it’s also a great one for the whole family to get on together 🙂

All the rides are included in admission but they do sell a FunCard which gets you points to use on the Rockwall and Arcade 🙂

This was really nice for our girl because two years ago she didn’t make it to the top and this time she did!!! She was so happy and proud 🙂

The Airplanes are also a favorite

Next to the Airplanes you will see the Balloon Racers this is my favorite 🙂 I think they are pretty to look at and the air feels great when you fly up!

For something a little faster try the Freeway Coaster

Another thing I love about this place is their food. I think it’s fairly priced and good portion size. Since we were running around a nice treat is always good 🙂 we decided on Nachos and Chili Cheese Curly Fries!!!! They don’t skimp on the cheese!

And for the Mama’s Starbucks!!!!!!

I was so happy to see they brew Starbucks Coffee as well as iced!

You can also purchase an Adventure City cup and get refills throughout the day for $1.00.

A huge plus for our family was when I asked for a refill on my own water bottle and they showed me where they have an ice bucket along with water they even have cups free of charge!

Our family drinks tons of water and theres no way I can keep buying bottled water this is so nice of them to offer it.

There’s lots of places available to sit and eat but we took our food over to the show area since it was almost going start.

There’s plenty of benches and tables all with great views of the show.

The kids thought the show was pretty funny!

Adventure City also has a Petting Zoo, also included with admission I think they sell feed but we didn’t do it.

After petting the animals they have a handwashing station right across the way.

Carousel fun is always good 🙂

We doubled up on some of the rides and one of the last rides we rode was the Drop Zone I stayed behind with the little guy and these brave kids got on with their brave grandma!

The last ride for the day was the Roller Coaster our nine year old son went ahead and got on by himself 🙂 Brave kid gets on everything!

Before leaving for the day we did have some fun over at the Arcade all 3 kids shared one $20.00 FunCard and it went pretty far they all played what they wanted, got tickets and even collected prizes.

The Price is right for this Park and you end up with a nice full day of fun with lots of memories made 🙂 Hours vary but they dont open to early or close to late. You can definitly do everything in one visit.

This Park makes me feel happy because it brings back childhood memories. Back when I was a kid my dad would take us to the Beach and on the way home we’d stop by Hobby City which is right next door to Adventure City. There was lots to do back then and the buildings are still there today. I even remember when construction started and when Adventure City opened in 1994 we didn’t visit because I was already in high school but I knew once I had kids or nieces and nephews Id be bringing them to visit.

Im Happy to say we have a GiveAway!!!!!!!!! 4 Tickets to Visit Adventure City!!! to Enter please like share and comment on this post 🙂 let us know if you’ve been and what you liked or if you haven’t been what you’d like to try 🙂 There was a couple more rides that i did’nt get pictures of.

Horses and Dragons & Vanishing Animals now at the Aquarium of the Pacific

Posted on June 28, 2016 Leave a Comment

Now through May 31,2017 you can explore the realm of real life Horses and Dragons that dwell under the sea over at The Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach. 🙂

I’ve always been facinated with Sea Horses. When I was a little girl I remember my cousin having a huge salt water tank and she had her very own Sea Horse!! I remember thinking she was the luckiest person out there! Now of course I understand why we can’t own them, but you can get up close and see them over at The Aquarium of the Pacific. Over at the Horses and Dragons exhibition. Our kids and I were lucky to see this exhibit and we will definitely be back. 🙂 I never knew there was so many different types.

Here are some examples of what we saw.

Leafy Seadragon found in Southern Australia. These guys have amazing camouflage. They look and sway like plants and can change colors to match their seaweed and sea grass habitats.

Weedy Seadragon Only found in Australian Coastal Waters. They are near threatened and just like their Seahorse relatives male Seadragons carry thier eggs.

Longsnout Seahorse Found in Western Atlantic Ocean along the U.S, East Coast and around Burmuda, Bahamas to South America. This guy looked a little more familiar to us.

Ribboned Seadragon Not a true Seadragon but is a member of the pipehorse group of fishes. Such am interesting one to see! So hard to believe they are real. It’s also cool to know that they are similar to the Rainbow serpent found in ancient aboriginal drawings that date back to 5,000 years ago can you see the resemblance below 🙂

These were just a few of what we saw, you will also see Pipefish, Razorfish along with all the other amazing and unusual animals throughout the Aquarium.

Make sure to check out the Vanishing Animals Gallery below are some pics. You will also learn through live animal exhibits, multimedia and interactive displays how we have the opportunity to help with preventing extinctions as well as learning more about extinction. I really think the kids understand by seeing examples.

We also checked out the new puppet show Pacific Pals featuring Piper the seahorse 🙂 over at the Marine Life Theater. Such a cute

and informative show.

We had a great and memorable day!!! Once we got home the kids drew pictures of what they saw 🙂 Our son was so inspired all he’s been talking about is becoming a Marine Biologist and keeps asking to go back. Theres so much to see!! we even took a little break and went on a Harbor Breeze Tour aboard La Espada 🙂 follow them on Instagram at HarborBreezeCruises http://www.2seewhales.com for more info.

I wasn’t able to get very good pics of all the dolphins because they were swimming and jumping very fast! But seeing them was so exciting! They swam close to the boat and we could see them below us. The kids were so excited they couldn’t believe these were real dolphins in the ocean and not at a show 🙂 We also saw a Blue Whale!!!! We definitely made memories and the kids want to learn so much more.

The Aquarium is a great place to visit in these summer months. The Aquarium is open daily from 9am-6pm and until 8pm on summer Sundays.

Aquarium Address: Aquarium of the Pacific 100 Aquarium Way, Long Beach CA 90802

Hippo Encounter at the Los Angeles Zoo

Posted on February 20, 2016 Leave a Comment

Family Adventure Ahead!!!!! An amazing opportunity to get up close (very close) to meet Hippo’s is happening now at the Los Angeles Zoo. Get to know Mara and her 15 month old baby Rosie. We had the chance to checkout Hippo Encounter and it was Amazing!!! This is a great learning opportunity for all especially the kids, and you can all walk away saying— I touched a Hippo! Hippo Encounter is only 15 people at a time including children so please make sure to check availability and purchase tickets online at http://www.lazoo.org/visit/showsandactivities/ you can also purchase in person at admissions ticket windows.

During Hippo Encounter you will be going behind the scenes for about 20 min and will be standing very close to baby Rosie and her Mama Mara 🙂 you see the pictures I wasn’t zooming in we were really that close! 🙂

You will learn so much about Hippos and how baby Rosie came to be. If you’ve ever wondered what Hippo skin feels like you will have a chance to find out 🙂

You will also keep them company while they eat Lunch 😉 and learn facts like — Why do they spend so much time underwater? How much does baby Rosie weigh? How fast can they run? Are they Endangered? You will have a chance to ask questions so get them ready.

Hippos are the third largest land mammal and how awesome is it that you have a chance to see and feel one up close!

Ill never forget that open mouth and seeing Mama and baby interact was priceless. This was definitely a memorable experience for us. I keep thinking about it and our son keeps telling his buddies he touched a Hippo 🙂

I figure the more we teach our kids about these animals the more they will Love and respect them. Thank You Los Angeles Zoo for offering these once in a lifetime experiences.

Hippo Encounter is $15.00 per person in addition to regular Zoo admission and is available on weekends and holidays at 12pm.

Our Adventure at Grand Legacy at the Park

Posted on December 15, 2015 1 Comment

This weekend we wanted to have a weekend full of Disneyland. We planned our stay over at Grand Legacy at the Park, also known as Ramada MainGate at the Park. Staying here was the best thing we could’ve done 🙂 Right off the bat we received outstanding customer service everyone at the front desk and vallet were very helpful and friendly. We arrived hours before check in we filled out our paperwork got our parking permit which by the way is $5.00 with your stay! and walked right on over to Disneyland!!! the walk over to the park is 7 minutes!!!!! thats it!

Once it was time to Check in we walked on back, easy as that!!!! We really wanted to go back to the park in the evening to watch Fantasmic and Paint the Night so in order for the kids to hang in there until midnight we figured it was time to take a little break.

Heres a little glimpse of our room, as you see its perfect for a family. The room is nice and roomy, extremely clean, nice size fridge so make sure you fill yours up. I was also happy to see plenty of coffee ( a huge plus) , quality toiletries that smell amazing and even make up remover wipes!! all these things make me very happy 🙂

A little helpful hint if you have a Birthday boy or girl is to let the front desk know when booking, they will leave a little treat for them 🙂 you can see these kids were thrilled! a little to thrilled that they wanted to stay and play with what they got 🙂

It was a beautiful day and it wasn’t to cold yet so we went for a swim! anytime we visit a hotel we really make it a point to swim even if its just for a bit. The kids always seem to remember and more memories are made at the pool 🙂 can you see tower of terror in the distance over in the 1st pic?? 🙂

The Hotel Pool was Heated and is shallow enough even the little ones can sit and play. The kids really enjoyed the Splash Pad and rested their legs in the Hot tub 🙂

Once we swam and slept we headed out to Denny’s just a couple doors down. If you show your room key you receive 10% off 🙂 the other side of the key also saves you 10% off over at McDonalds also just a couple doors down.

After dinner we headed back to Disneyland!!!! The Grand Legacy is so close we didn’t even take a stroller.

We ALL hung in there until 12am closing 🙂 and it was all because we were able to take a break half way through the day. We also had peace of mind knowing we just had to walk across the street! no long drive home for us 🙂 there we are walking out.

Back to the room here they are all cozy in the beds 🙂

Complimentary Continental Breakfast is served from 6:30am-9:30am this is another great perk when staying at The Grand Legacy so helpful saves time and money. They offered donuts, cereals, fruits, toast, bagels, biscuits and gravy along with juices and coffee. Everything was well stocked and nicely organized.

Since Check Out isn’t until 12:00!!! we had some time to run on over to California Adventure. We got there very fast and were able to get in a 15 min line for Radiator Springs Racers!!!!

Check out at 12 is a huge plus!!!!!!!!!

We really enjoyed our stay at The Grand Legacy at the Park. Every single employee was happy to help and very friendly 🙂 The rooms are all remodeled and have a lot of space for everything that comes with a family. I love that the room felt very clean especially with kids. We had a ton of fun in the pool and lots of memories were made. I think we found our family tradition hotel when visiting Disneyland :). Our kids also have a special attachment and will remember this hotel because about two weeks ago we were invited to the unveiling of the Hotels new Name and were able to walk around and check out the new amazing changes coming up. Some of the changes include a new Breakfast Room that will still be complimentary. The new building will hold beautiful luxurious rooms and suites.

6 Retail shops will be open at the ground level a mimi mart, ticket store, pizza place, and a scooter rental shop for sure.

Something we are all excited about is the RoofTop Bar and Lounge which will be open sometime in February. The Rooftop will be family friendly during the day. We were up there!! you can clearly see Hollywood Tower of Terror over at California Adventure and Space Mountain and the Matterhorn over at Disneyland as well!!

This is gonna be amazing at night! to be able to watch the Disneyland Fireworks have a drink and walk right over to your room 🙂 we really cant wait!!

The Bar will be a Full Bar serving Cocktails, Beer,Wine, Drinks along with light food all available for purchase. There will also be a stage for entertainment. The Rooftop is 5,000 square feet and will also be available for hosting Meetings, Special Events, Corporate groups and Weddings. An Indoor meeting space which holds 60 people will also be available.

We can’t wait to visit again and with a family of 5 we found it perfect!!!!

Our Adventure In LegoLand!!!!!!!!!

Posted on August 6, 2015 Leave a Comment

A week ago we decided to have our Family Adventure over at Legoland in Carlsbad Ca. We Love surprising our kids and really never tell them where we are going 😉

We Love seeing and hearing them trying to figure it out. I think at this point they are learning the freeways and exits. We gotta be sneaky and use another destination that is close by so the GPS doesn’t give it away. Once they realized we were at Legoland they were so excited!! The First ride we rode was the Coast Cruise. This was a great way to start our day because we saw what was instore for the rest of the day. It was amazing and we all appreciate all the work that went into the sites. So much detail and having the kids point and tell us what they recognize is great:)

Its great to see so much color and so many Legos!!!

It was a pretty warm day and our next ride really hit the spot The Aqua Zone Wave Racers

what a FUN Ride!!!!!!!!!! all 5 of us had a blast and we definitely got nice and cool. 🙂

While my husband got on another ride with our bigger kids.

There was plenty to do with our three year old close by. He got on an airplane ride played in the ball area and even went fishing and caught two fish 😉

Once they were done we made our way to My favorite part of the park Castle Hill a must for me is having the kids ride the Royal Joust. I think its the most adorable ride out there 🙂

Happy kids in line for The Dragon Roller Coaster (Josh didn’t realize he was going on his first Roller Coaster)

We ran into this Piece of valuable information Kids Eat Free!!!!!!!!!! This was music to my ears!!!!!!!! Thank You LegoLand!!!!!!!

If you haven’t tried the famous Granny’s Apple Fries you gotta do it!!! as you can see they are excited 🙂

Now its time to get someone wet!!!!!!!!!!! well thats what I thought until……. Other people got us soaked! Over at Pirate Shores on the Splash battle

Gotta Love live performances over in Heart lake City

and the Heart lake City girls made our daughter feel special 🙂 she was so happy they talked to her.

The day kept getting warmer and at this point it was hot so decided to go over to the Water park. We had our change of clothes in the car with parking being so close it wasn’t a issue. But they do have lockers you could rent.

Our first stop at The Water Park was The Build a Raft River.

After The Build a Raft River we went over to the Chima section of the Water park, Here they are giving it two thumbs up. I also give it two thumbs up I gotta say it was my favorite. The waves felt calm and I felt relaxed. It was busy and it was noisy but it didn’t matter the calm waves our kids having fun it was the best 🙂 I didn’t take to many pictures here at the Water Park because there was a lot of people and didn’t want to make anyone feel uncomfortable.

All around the park you find beautiful flowers Even if the water isn’t for you its nice to grab a chair and relax. The music was great nothing like some Bob Marley to complete the mood. I felt happy everything was just right.

Pirate Reef is something we will be going to next time but Wow!!! thats a lot of water splashing into the ride!

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

The Kids were thrilled to get on water slides.

This was our first time at a Water Park and it was such a Fun and Memorable experience. We wish we lived closer so we can go every other day 😉 after our Water Park fun we went over to Fun Town the kids were so excited to ride The Driving school. They couldn’t believe the cars didn’t have tracks!! The Driving school is Divided so the Little toddlers are separate from the bigger kids. Our Little three year old was in heaven driving the car.

Sadly we were running out of time 🙁 But ended our day on a Roller Coaster over on Explorer Island the Coastersaures it was so much fun we got on twice!!!!!!! Even though the line was a little long the Beautiful dinosaurs kept the kids busy 🙂

We had a Fun filled day with lots of Memories Made 🙂 we had a couple firsts — Our first time at a Water Park and our little guy getting on a roller coaster for the first time.

Remember to check for coupons before going to the Park. McDonalds has a Buy an Adult Park Hopper ticket get a Child Admission FREE. Sometimes School PTA’s or Libraries give them out. Our Summer Reading program at our local library gave them as a prize. Another way to save is by participating in the Kids Eat Free for dinner 🙂 If It gets late and its a Saturday check the local Dennys because Kids Eat Free on Saturday Nights. Have Fun don’t forget your Sunscreen and Make those Memories 🙂

Something Fun to do this Weekend. Azusa Canyon

Posted on October 4, 2014 Leave a Comment

Heres a short family hike good for all ages.

A short drive north of the 210 freeway in the City of Azusa..on Azusa, takes you up into Azusa Canyon. If you intend on making this trip and stopping to enjoy the beautiful canyon you must pick up a “Forest Adventure Pass” and display it on your vehicle. You can find this pass at the ranger station at the base of the canyon or any SportChalet or Big5 Sporting Goods. Please visit the sight and read all the good a few dollars does for our forests.

http://www.fs.usda.gov/detailfull/r5/passes-permits/recreation/?cid=stelprdb5208699&width=full

Exit the 210 freeway on Azusa St and head north. 13 Miles from the freeway exit will bring you to Cogswell Gate.

Park in of the two parking lots and display your Forest Adventure Pass from your mirror.

The hike is an easy going, paved road along a nice stream.

There are many great views of surrounding canyons and water below. As you venture further into the canyon, the trail descends to water level and there are many places to go off the path and get close to the stream

Unfortunately, this has been a bad year for rain and the water levels are pretty low everywhere. Fortunately this has exposed many smooth rocks and has made it possible for the kids to try there hand….. or feet at …. A little rock hopping with minimal consequence.

The very first bridge you come to marks the one mile mark. This is a good place to take a break and have a snack. The stream runs under the bridge and provides plenty of shade for playing by the water and taking a break. We also found ourselves chasing bugs and watching insects be insects.

The hike back seams shorter than the hike in. The sun sets behind you and casts shadows all through the canyon.

This trail is over 16 miles long. It’s 8 miles in and 8 miles out. The trail has mile makers throughout makeing it easy to make your trip as easy or as long as you wish. The further you travel up the canyon, the prettier it gets. The evidence of careless hikers and visitors disappears as you make your way deeper into the canyon. The path is an easy paved path and does lend itself to families on bikes or kids on scooters.

The best time to visit is later in the day or early in the morning. For those hiking deeper into the canyon, you can bring your fishing pole and fish from one of the platforms. Please remember to pack out all you trash or place it in one of the many provided trash bins. Some bug spray might be a good idea too since you will be walk along a stream. Don’t forget your Forest Adventure Pass.

A day at the LA County Fair

Posted on September 17, 2014 Leave a Comment

We spent this past Saturday at the fair 🙂 we had such a great time and I’m really happy that despite it being a very hot day we still went. We started the day with one of these –

Fresh Waffle Cone,Vanilla frozen yogurt, and whipped creme so good!!

We then set our sights on the bacon!

Bacon wrapped Zucchini that is. UNBELIEVABLE!

The farms hold fun for everyone. The kids, however, seem to have the most. We spent quite a bit of time getting chased around by these guys..

My boy Matt thought they were calling out to him.

….Maaaaaaaaaaaatt…. pricless!

This particular section was appealing to us because it was free. A great way to interact with sheep and goats. If you wish, you can purchase a cup of feed and have the goats come eat right out of your hand.

The evening finally started to “cool” off to a mere 95 degrees, which only means one thing…..More Bacon!

Behold! The bacon covered maple doughnut. A magical creation of sweet and salty perfection! ….and a bubbly refreshment for dad.

Of course we had to include the kids

….and this, bacon creation, is not to be shared.

Enter the Pop-Rock doughnut. (I think she likes it…what do you think?) A surprisingly fun and delicious treat. All three guys devoured it in a blink of an eye.

We then spent time in the exhibition halls exploring science and sea life. An interesting shark display had the kids entertained for a while.

Couldn’t resist the shark cage photo op.

The night was capped off by the King of all Fair food.

The Krispy-Kreme Triple Cheese Burger. This may seem Un-appealing to some but believe us when we say…..it’s good! The three meats and cheese are a perfect balance to the sweet of the doughnuts. Not an easy burger to eat, but Everest isn’t a walk in the park either.

There is so much for a family to do at the Fair. Although the rides are fun, we are on a budget and prefer to eat our way through the day. There are several shows you can catch that are completely free. We caught the high dive pirate show at night as the last thing we did. It was very entertaining and actually had us, a bit, on the edge of our seats.

Thanks for reading
