Irvine Regional Park

We headed out to this park that we thought was in Irvine but apparently it wasn't when we looked it all up, but we went anyways since we promised Makayla a train ride and pony ride.  Grandma Arakaki found it somehow and told us to try it so we did.  It's out in Orange and is one of the oldest parks in our area. 

Here's train conductor Mak welcoming you!
The neat train that goes around the park so you can explore all the things to do here.  They have this train ride, a zoo, paddle boats, pony rides and nice areas for picnics and BBQ.
Makayla & Daddy getting ready for their train ride to depart.  Mommy & Mylee stayed back to enjoy the nice day since we had the stroller and it was too pricey for all of us to ride the train when it was really just for Makayla to enjoy.  Choo, choo!

This was the big reason for us to come here.  The ponies!  Makayla has really been into them lately.  There's a place that she's horses at across from the library so she's always asking about them so I think that's why Grandma looked around for her.  She was a little scared at first but then had a lot of fun!  It was a really hot day out in Orange so we just did these few things and headed home to cool off!
