Great Fun at Irvine Park Railroad’s Pumpkin Patch 2013 | #Recap #Giveaway @IrvineParkRR #IrvineParkRailroad

We were invited to a media preview of Irvine Park Railroad’s Pumpkin Patch this past weekend and, of course, we said, YES! We love that park and visit it frequently throughout the year. (They also host Christmas Train and Easter Eggstravaganza). Here are some highlights of our visit… We raced around in the John Deere tractors. We panned for gold. We looked for the perfect pumpkin. I ran through this kiddie haunted house by myself. Free. We rode the train with our auntie Kim and her family. It’s our tradition at Irvine Park Railroad! We ran through this Hay Maze – three times. Free! Here’s my photo of the day … READ MORE >>

GIVEAWAY: BounceU of Huntington Beach #Review #PlayDate @BounceUofHB

Last week we were invited to play at Bounce U of Huntington Beach. I’ve shared info about them before, and there are several bouncy places in OC, but they’re all unique. For example, both BounceU in OC have two rooms where they split half the time in each rooms. Parents love it when staff interact with the kids, and it’s great exercise. They’re currently getting a face-lift with fun new colors and logos. (Can’t wait to see it when they’re done.) Meanwhile, we ran around bouncing our butts off, and they’re running an awesome promo below. ROOM #1: PHOTO GALLERY These slides are EXTRA steep, but you have to climb … READ MORE >>

Celebrate My Gym Yorba Linda’s Open House Sept 21st | @MyGymYorbaLinda #ad

Disclosure: This is a sponsored post. Last October, we attended a Halloween/Plants vs. Zombies Birthday Party at My Gym Yorba Linda. It was the cutest theme ever, and my friend did an awesome job. My Gym is one of our favorite places for play dates and I’ll tell you why. My kids were climbing, sliding, tumbling, walking on balance beams, jumping on trampolines and into the ball pit without me offering incentives or nudging them. They were both very active that day, and it was great exercise. WHAT WE LIKED: It’s a 1.5 hours of structured play. The staff is very interactive and helpful to the kids. Almost everything is … READ MORE >>
