We got to go up in a helium balloon and view what will be the Great Park in Irvine, CA! It is not open to the public right now, but we begged and they let us since it was our sister-in-law's birthday and we had four cute kids with us!

Spencer's good friend Emron works at Pixar, so we met up and got a tour while we were in the neighborhood! This is Miles with three of his cousins and in the background you can see Spencer, Emron and me! I was seriously in awe that I was just strolling around where Pixar makes their movies!

If you haven't been to a Jelly Belly Factory before, you should head to Sacramento CA or Pleasant Prairie WI for a tour. They require that your head has one of their funny hats on it, or if you provide your own hood, that would do as well. Funny because you get nowhere near the Jelly Belly beans (as they call them) on this location's tour. In Pleasant Prairie they take you around in carts, but in Sacramento you just get a bird's eye view and you're behind glass the whole time. Miles kept the hat on for about 10 seconds.
They were making peach Jelly Belly beans the day we visited and the hallway was potently peachy. The best part of all was that you get a little bag of free Jelly Belly beans once the tour is done!
