Happy Easter time 2012: Gilroy Garden: A Review


We spent our Easter Sunday at Gilroy Gardens and theme park. It was fun especially for our kiddos. Their entrance was so nice and there are trees trimmed to be so inviting and gigantic. I just feel so bubbly having to spend our Easter at Gilroy Gardens. Can't imagine how happy and exciting kids feel about this theme park especially for those people who lives nearby.

Here's the welcoming signboard on your way to Gilroy Garden







Spring time is here. Imagine a nice sun with a little bit of breeze. I like it. Colorful flowers brightens up my day.









Oh I like this water falls and water with rocks. It's just so relaxing just by looking at them and hearing the water flows.




I can't deny how I just for some moment look at one spot and love the view. It's quiet and peaceful.








Train that goes around in almost all the area in the Gilroy Garden. If you want to see most of the rides and views on the end of the circle. You should try this ride. It's just right for touring around the area.






 Many amazing and unique tress are available for viewing at Gilroy Garden. They look so impossible but true indeed. I wonder how they manage to have those kinds of forms. Available in different areas.



Zigzag tree




The oldest tree


Playgounds are available to take a break and watch your kids enjoy the slide but be careful. It's fun but kinda high for little kids.



I haven't tried the garlic ride. Since this keeps turning and turning in circles. I get dizzy after I tried the strawberry. Some people and kids may like it but I guess it's just not for me. lol. 







Many shops are open now and they have items that are awesome.


 



















View from rainbow ride which is very relaxing and has some spa music as well. Great! We'll try the Duck ride soon since it's always full and has a long line. We tried falling inline but it was too long. We'll try next time.



This roller coaster rideis the scariest of the rides of all available as of now, middle of April 2012. But it doesn't make turns. Just fast and fun.










Rock maze. My daughter enjoys getting lost in here. She had so much fun in it.




Fun booth prizes are available if you are up for the challenge to get a prize. You have to be really focus. As I watch people playing. I think it's not that hard to play. Play as low as USD 3.









I love this banana split ride. It gives me a tingling feeling and a tickle to my stomach. 








Saw a squirrel in front of me passing by.



This is snake ride is like a roller coaster but it's not that scary. Just right for me. We always like to sit in front.


Rides for toddlers are available too!




Icecream, cotton candy, hotdogs and some food stalls are available too! Since you are not allowed to bring food inside. Just have a taste with their available varieties. You may bring bottled water and food for babies.


Carousel.. All time favorite ride.





Many rides will be available on summer. Can't wait to visit again.











We spent like USD 34 each person and it is valid until summer season is over. I think around november if I'm not mistaken. Please correct me if I am wrong. I think their rates will go up on summer so purchasing your tickets now is so much worth it.

How was your experience with Gilroy Garden. I would love to hear from you.

The beauty consultant from Mary Kay went to our house this morning, she was nice and her baby is such a cutie. She explained to me that you can actually have your own business with Mary Kay Cosmetics and she enjoyed doing it. You can think of anything to do with it like doing make up on events such as weddings, graduation, and parties as a business, it can be selling of make up and other Mary Kay products, or putting it in a package or in a basket and sell them. Many ways to earn business from Mary Kay huh! =) I have been to marketing and managing my small business but I think I am not ready now since I have to review for my NCLEX exam soon. I'm gonna have to think about that but right now, I'll post my photos in awhile to join their website.

Our beautiful life..

Spring is here..

Here are some affirmations that I just made up. I hope you will like it and give you an inspiration.

We have the power to control our lives. We can choose to be happy if we just believe..
Believe in yourself
Believe that you are beautiful


Life is like a painting.. so pretty!


Life is like a photo
Sometimes it's black & white
Most of us choose it to be colored and bright
But once in awhile I just want it like that
Black and white
And there is nothing wrong with that


Free spirited as a bird


There's a light in the tunnel and if there's none,
just turn on your headlights
better yet, choose your tunnel







Everything you should only see is just breath taking beautiful


Keep ur feet on the ground,
spread your wings
and be ready to fly high


Creativity
Start now to create what's on your mind
No matter what it is
If that makes you happy
Create now what you imagine
Don't be scared
It's not yet too late
Who knows, you might get lucky 




Always love yourself and others will too.
