Bonfante, Year 12

Man, we've gone to Bonfante so many times that it really is a teeny bit ridiculous to keep taking pictures.  Still, it is quite hilarious to watch how the kids change and change, while Chad and I look exactly the same, down to our clothes (give or take a few wrinkles and/or a few pounds).
New this year:

Trev and Clara took off on the swing ride together for the first time....

Clara laughed about how she used to be afraid of the monorail ride through the Monarch Garden...

.... and Trev was somewhat heartbroken that the talking vegetables seem to have lost their magic for him (so Clara had to pose alone).

  

But other than that, it was the same great day we always have, complete with a bit of begging for ice cream, some exaggerated screaming on roller coasters, and Chad not keeping his arms inside the rainbow ride at all times.

 

As an added bonus,  when we stopped at In n Out for our annual avoid-rush-hour dinner in Gilroy, I discovered that they DO have an option for veggies like me!!!!!  Just ask for a "Grilled Cheese", and they'll give you a burger with everything except the burger!!!!  I've needlessly been dining on nothing but fries and diet coke once a year for all these years....
