We met up with my sister, Uncle K and j at the Great Park for their anniversary celebration. It was supposed to start at 3 p.m. but we arrive before it opened because we knew it would get crowded. It was pretty warm, but there was a slight breeze. We brought the wagon, which I find quite convenient at the Great Park since there is plenty of space to move around (and there’s always a lot of swag to carry).
Our first stop was to look at the air display.
Next the kids planted some sunflower seeds. No Disney mugs this time, but we ended up giving those away anyway, so the compostable pots were a good idea.
Next stop: Food trucks. Supposedly there were 26 of them! I did miss the free orange sorbet that they gave away another year.
I know I said before that I was over shaved ice, but I couldn’t resist the Tropical Shave Ice truck because I had it before, and I knew it would be good for the kids who were melting in the heat. I ordered a POG with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
D wanted me to try the Seabirds truck’s jackfruit tacos. I wasn’t really a fan. It was just too weird—jackfruit posing as pork..hmm…
Finally, we were able to try a pizza from TJ’s Woodfired Pizza truck. It was really good, (really liked the crust) but at almost $12, pretty expensive for food truck fare.
After our early dinner, the kids made kites and were able to fly them. That was their first kite-flying experience, and it was lots of fun! I was impressed with the flying ability of such a simple kite.
Another great day at the Great Park!
