The best outting we took while Gina was away: Vasona Park in Los Gatos with our friends from San Francisco. We enjoyed a narrow-guage steam train ride around the park, carousel ride, ice treats and then shady picnic while the adults ate and kids climbed the trees. Afterwards we braved the heat to do a little park play on the fire engine, wooden train, play sculpture and jet plane. It was a great end of summer outing for the two new Kindergartners and their younger siblings. Do these kids know how nice they have it?
