Hanging Out With the Carlsen Crew
Yesterday (5/31/14) the Carlsen crew stopped by Riverside on their way to Arizona. With only a few hours to take a stretch break the Pedrozas had to think of some quick family places to take them. We decided on Fairmount Park and Tio Tacos.
Fairmount Park used to be a very sad park, but it has been cleaned up a lot in the last few years and now is a very family friendly park. It has two playgrounds, a rose garden, and a tank you can climb on (which only takes .58 miles to walk to, yes I GPS’d it).
Ryan and Tyler play at the Carousel Playground.
Tyler hunts for duckies at Lake Evans.
The Carlsen kids figuring out how to climb on top of the tank.
The kids found a bunny by the tank.
AJ playing at the splash zone at Fairmount park.
Proof, see really it wasn’t that far to the tank. Although, I am sorry that Tyler thought it was too far :(.
After playing in Fairmount Park the Carlsens were hungry so we took them to one of our favorite Mexican food places called Tio Tacos. We like Tio Tacos because the prices are reasonable and you can’t beat the ambience.
Wyatt tries out a chair made out of tires.
Wyatt and Mia do their best El Chavo impersonations.

I am not sure the Carlsen kids enjoyed the Mexican food, but they still had fun talking.
Robyn and Denise try to figure out why President Bush is pulling a wagon with a donkey in it.
Did Mia suddenly shrink?
AJ shows aunt Robyn how to look for dinosaur bones in Riverside.
Denise decided she was going to grow wings.
The thing that impressed 3 year old Tyler more than anything? The rabbit.
“We found a yidda (little) bunnie!” “He was just yike this” (Shows me with his hands.) First thing out of his mouth when he walked in the door. Now I know. Thanks for the post. Looks like a fun place.
It was sooooo much fun! Thanks us for showing us a great time – you are excellent hosts and I wish we saw you more often!
