Fun outings galore: Last Friday

Have you ever heard of Orange County Great Park? Neither had I until my friend Scott told me about it when I saw him at a wedding recently. This massive park is being built on some of the old El Toro MCAS. Most of the park is still a work in progress, but The Great Park Balloon ride is up and running, and two of my high school friends work there, so Sara and I went to go check it out.

My friend Matt is the balloon pilot.

This attraction at the park is free and not far from the Irvine Spectrum. You might want to go check it out!

No, I have not heard of this park before! At least Sara didn't seem to be afraid of heights!

I have heard of this, but I didn't know they had a balloon ride! Zoey would love it! I will check it out!
