Little Twin Stars: Spring time at Castro Valley Park

Springtime is here and the weather is still strange as some days it's warm and others cold. It doesn't seem to bother the girls and they are enjoying the first signs of spring. Saturday we took them to Union City park (after we went to a farmer's market in Hayward where they loved getting orange samples and oatmeal cookie samples) and they really enjoyed watching geese, ducks, bugs and hares! They're really nature loving kids. How they like bugs I do not know because I hate them! They like pointing out spiders in their room so daddy can "take it away" (daddy squishes them LOL!). I think they like bugs because they watch all these movies with them in it.

Sunday we took the girls with us to run some errands at Target and ate lunch at New Park Mall where they had their first Orange Julius strawberry drink (YUM!). Mommy spoiled them with an early Easter egg lighted thing-a-ma-jiggy toy and a Tinkerbell coloring book (yes, they're still on a Tinkerbell kick). Later we took Sophie and Hannah to Castro Valley Park where they did their usual play. Sophie played in the sandbox and Hannah ran all around going up and down the big kid's slides (Every single one of the slides and multiple times making me super nervous. She is the thrill seeker, such a fearless toddler!).

As we took the girls back to the minivan to leave the park, they made a pit stop by the open field park where people have picnics. They had more fun there playing with the pine cones, flowers, watching people play tennis, and running around the grass than playing at the playground.
