Fashion Island

On Tuesday Eric and I took the kids to Fashion Island, a beautiful outside mall in Newport Beach. They have a giant Koi Pond in the middle of the mall and the weather was so incredible that not being outside was a waste.

We stopped by the pond first and both kids loved looking at the brightly colored fish. Emma's favorite part was finding the littler fish swimming in between the stepping stones and Josh's favorite part was barking at the fish (the kid thinks any non-human being is a dog).

Saying goodbye to the fish, we continued walking around the mall and found that every corner had a fountain. The fountains were neat because each one was different! Some had water that danced, some had water that shot straight up and fell, and others had pretty carvings that the water came out of.

We ended our trip to Fashion Island by having lunch at our favorite family restaurant Red Robin! It was a fun day trip and best of all, it was free (well, except lunch)!
