Balboa Lake and Park in CA

We packed and cleaned up our room preparing for our flight home.  We cleaned the van and then went to Audy's house to help pack the kids.  

After some talking and trying to decide what we can do today the decision was made to go to Balboa Park/lake.  I loved the park from the minute I got out of the van.  The park was filled with a variety of ducks and birds.  I took some great photos.

Audy and I sat in a gaxebo and watched the ducks catch fish, enjoying their lunch.

Walking towards the bike rental there was a guy sitting in a chair down by the water.  He had a toy boat in the lake and was having fun using it to chase some ducks and  race it around the water.

This boat moves pretty fast across the water.  Looks like a neat toy to have.

Mason and BB had wanted to ride bikes from the minute we got out of the car.  We are almost to the rental area.

This bike rental place had a variety of bikes to choose from.  We ended up getting one bike where 5 people could sit in it but only 4 could pedal.  Greg took Seamus for a walk while we took a bike ride.

Mason and JL took turns riding the single seated bike.

OK its Greg's turn to ride and Audy and I got out.  Love the expressions on there faces.

Dancing in the park........let the good times roll.

Setting under the gazebo watching the ducks catch fish.  The kids had some graham crackers and broke them up in small pieces to feed the ducks.

 Its time to head back to the van and go eat at IN AND OUT burger.. we are all dreading today as today we are leaving CA.

 IN AND OUT BURGERS one last time before we leave for the airport.

 A hill was behind where we ate.  Audy and the kids went up there to play and spend time together.

 We have the RED EYE flight out of LA and going  3 hours early. We have to return the van and get some shopping done.

 On the plane and ready for some shut eye on the red eye.
