Today we met Morgan and Willow at Irvine Regional Park, which I think Ryan would declare as his new favorite place on earth. Between the train, the ducks, the petting zoo and the acres of grassy fields filled with leaves, sticks and trees to climb, it's a toddlers paradise! At this time of year, the train area is turned into Santa's Village, and the whole area is decked out in lights and decorations. From what I understand, you actually buy tickets ahead of time to go at night when the lights are up (and they are almost sold out for December already!), but there was hardly anyone there this morning and Ryan and Willow didn't seem to mind that the lights weren't on. In fact, they giggled and squealed the whole ride. We can't wait to go back soon!
