park and zoo, let's go!

It's one of those rare Sundays when we had no parties or get-togethers to attend to and i was itching to go out and enjoy the sun.  With our last week's trip to Gilroy Gardens still in my mind, we decided to check out Happy Hollow Park and Zoo in San Jose.  It's a cute little amusement park especially for toddlers.  Most of the rides your toddler can go unaccompanied except for the family roller coaster, a mild-thrill two-minute ride just perfect for an over-eager kid (my son) and not-so-eager parent (me) to ride together.  Sensing my "fear" while waiting in line, my 4-year old kept saying "it's ok mama...it's gonna be fun!"  I survived and like he promised, it was fun!

Not to be missed is Danny the Dragon Ride which slowly goes down the trail with characters from popular kids stories like the three little pigs.  We checked out the zoo and the barn but like most kids his age, my son was more interested in the rides and the playground. After about 3 hours we were tired and hungry and sunburned so for our last stop we explored the Bent Bridge just outside the entrance then headed out to get lunch.

Another happy Sunday... it really is fun being a kid! :)
