Back in the summer we got tickets to go to Gilroy Gardens. We were supposed to go with Poppy, Grammy, Kaleb and Izzy but when we went down to San Jose I ended up getting really sick. So, we have been waiting quite awhile to use up these tickets! Thankfully they were open after Thanksgiving and since we were in San Jose for Thanksgiving it created the perfect opportunity to go!

I had heard from lots of people that while obviously Gilroy Gardens is no Disneyland, it is a great place to take kids that are the girls age. It was such a perfect day! The weather was PERFECT, not too hot and not too cold, blue skies and there weren't many people there either. As soon as we got into the park we decided to map it out by hopping on the train. We took the train ride around the park and when we got off the girls wanted to ride the roller coaster. While Aaron took Hailee and Faith on the coaster I took Tegan on some kiddie rides.

We wandered around the park, had a yummy lunch by the lake and then rode more rides. Tegan was a little bummed that she couldn't go on the bigger roller coasters but they still offered a lot for her to do. I think one of her favorite rides was the cars because got to drive all by herself! It was such a great fall day that we all enjoyed very much.
