Spring Break: Part 2

As it often does, my birthday fell during spring break this year and we went to Casa de Fruta.  Casa de Fruta is a fruit stand near us that's grown into a little tourist attraction.  It's been around for over 100 years.  The kids and I drove over for a little fun.

They have a little train there and a carousel.  Neither of those were running.  
They may only run in the summer.

They have lots of old tractors to check out

And a little playground

Small duck pond with a few fish and turtles

The kids all wanted to try out the stocks.



And climb on one of the trains



We got some ice cream at the little sweet shop there





Lots of photo ops



There were several peacocks walking around.  This one got real close to Matthew and Anna

We got to use this sluice

For a few dollars you can buy a little bag of sand with a few treasures inside and sluice it

The kids loved doing this part and can't wait to go back and do it again.

We headed home after that.  We had Chinese take out for dinner which was nice and strawberry shortcake for birthday cake.

Emma was having a sad time that evening. 
She missed her nap.

Emma helped me blow out candles

and open presents

It was a great birthday!
