Balboa Fun Zone - Celebrating 75 Yrs

Cade was a lucky boy today! He got to spend time with BOTH of his grandmas at the same time! The Balboa Fun Zone (right where Brad & I were married) had a 75 year celebration today. They had 5 cent carousel rides and 50 cent cotton candy. Cotton candy is my latest craving, so lucky for me that is was next-to-free!
We had a great day with Mimi & Grammer. Here is the downside to this event though..... the carousel that has been there for 75 yrs is closing on Monday... for good. Luckily, the ferris wheel will still be there, but no more carousel. It's lease is up and it is time to say good bye. So sad since it is such a tourist spot.

The 5 of us met at Grammer's house on Balboa Island and took the ferry over to the Fun Zone. Here we are!


Here is a shot of what we saw when we got off the ferry. Cade flipped when he saw all the balloons! Brad had to go find him one... QUICK! :)

Cade & Mimi waiting patiently for a ride on the famous carousel.

Jacobsen family shot just before the carousel starts! Boy, that thing was so fast! I thought it might make Berkley arrive early:)

Next, we had to hit up the yummy food. Popcorn, check, Shave Ice, check, cotton candy, check.

Grammer was the brave one of the group. She rode the ferris wheel all by herself! Well, not exactly by herself.... she had a stranger sit with her....

Poor Brad had to carry Cade back to the car. My stash of cotton candy needed to use the stroller. Yep, at 50 cents a pop, I stocked up:) Hey, don't blame me... Doc said I needed to fatten up! Hee hee! And for those of you that are trying to count... I got 4 bags. And yes, you mathematicians, that comes to $2!
