We visited Gilroy Gardens with nine inner city San Jose kids from the after school program at Santa Maria Urban Ministry yesterday. This was the second of our three summer field trips – we went to the beach with them last month. Lewis and John and I drove the kids to the theme park at Hecker Pass and had a good time going on rides, getting wet, and admiring the gardens and Axel Erlandson’s fascinating circus trees. Next month, we take the kids to Raging Waters water park.
