this place was awesome!!!
we went with taylor's preschool to pretend city in irvine!
it's like a BIG playhouse for kids!

some of the kids from the entire preschool, there are kids missing and 2 teachers...
the community room-where you eat
can't forget lil peyton

each kid gets a timecard
then you go thru the city and there are some jobs to do and once u are done u get a stamp on your timecard...you can even go to the pretend atm-get money and get something with it.

more disney days

it's nice having passes...
we met up once again with the barrett girls
and we stood in a really long line to meet 2 princesses-hah!

but phew!
we survived a few hours at disney with the barrett girls-after fighting an hour of traffic to get there, then once pushing the strolling realizing my front tire was popped-so i ended up strollerless (but was able to rotate the girls-thanks geneyem for sharing your stroller-cause i wasn't about to pay $15 to rent one for 3 hrs) and who told everyone to go to d-land today and not to mention 4 whiney lil girls-haha?! it was soo crowded! with that said, we did manage some fun and yes i would do it again!
