Fun in Mr. Bonfante's Garden

We had a lovely day today exploring Bonfante Gardens in Gilroy with the girls. Bonfante Gardens is a great amusement park if you are over 60 or under 8. It has lovely lush gardens, peacefully rides and the only teenagers in sight are working. No loud music, no bad language and the only object likely to be thrown at you is an empty sippy cup.

La Nina was able to drive a car on the Autopia-style car ride and as a family we enjoyed a serene float on a garden boat ride, but really it was a garden boat float that left the girls giggling. The girls also loved the merry-go-round. I didn't think I was going to get the Magster off of it. The playground with lots of great climbing and slides and the water fountains were also huge hits in our family. It is really the perfect spot for little ones.

We shared today's adventure with some of the families from Maggie's travel group. It was so gratifying to see the babies from China as rowdy toddlers. Of course, Maggie impressed everyone by showing that Project Daddy Love was successful once we got home. These are the people who remember the days when Daddy couldn't even look at Maggie without making her cry.

Mostly it was fun just spending the day with people who shared such a special journey with us. That is the great thing about China adoption. You don't just get a daughter, you get a whole extended family.
