Memorial Day weekend fun

We had a lot of fun over the holiday weekend. I'm still recovering from all the driving and walking but it was worth it. On Saturday we went to the Mushroom Mardi Gras in Morgan Hill. We had a portabello sandwich, fried mushrooms, sauteed mushrooms, and stuffed mushrooms. Jace went on a few rides and the weather was perfect.

On Sunday we went to Bonfante Gardens which turned out to be a perfect place for Jace. His favorite part was the splash park that had a lot of water spraying out of the ground and from above. He was frightened and fascinated at the same time. One time he got down on his knees to look in one of the holes that water squirts out of. I kept warning him not to but he kept looking and then eventually it sprayed out and he jumped backwards and cried for a few seconds. After that he ran around the water in circles for about half an hour laughing the whole time. Needless to say he passed out in his stroller after that. However, after a quick nap he started exploring the huge playground they had on the other side of the park. He went down the biggest slide he's ever gone on and he did it about ten times. In order to get to the slide he had to crawl (all the other kids were bigger and could just walk up the steps) up stairs that went up almost two stories (there were bars all around so he couldn't fall). He slept well that night.
