OC's Great Park - Orange County, Ca.

It was another beautiful day in the OC. Julie and Olivia visited the Great Park. We ascended in the Big Orange Hot Air Balloon to get some beautiful views of the surrounding mountains, including Saddle Back, Palos Verdes Peninsula, Catalina, the Hollywood Hills and Down Town L.A. We also visited the plant section of the park learning a bit more about composting, vertical pot growing and visited the cute hen house. It was a good day.
