Happily Ever After

The first week in our new place happened to be the same week that my sister would be watching our other sister's kids. To help release some energy and simply get out of the house, my sister and I each took two kids (she the girls, I the boys) to Fairytale Town. Very, very similar to Fairyland except a little cleaner and freshly painted.

We started off at the large boot slide which was extremely fast! That sucker shot the kids straight on to their bums. Amy took control of the exit and I monitored the entrance. There were two little girls yelling at our niece, telling her that she was cutting in line. The defensive mother duck in me replied with, "She's three! She doesn't know what cutting is!" So to shut them up, I let them go ahead of her and all was well. Then I saw them run up to their mom and share our experience. I was preparing for her to come up to me and find out what happened but thankfully, she didn't. I really hate confrontations.

With the help of Will and his amazing map skills, we made our way throughout the park. The slides were amazingly slick and should have warning signs posted. As I was trying to help our niece get situated, I slipped and went down the slide with one leg up to my head and my back rubbing against the edge. I now have a scar on my back and wouldn't be surprised if I have hepatitis.

It was a warm day and the chilluns weren't satisfied with the snacks Auntie Amy provided. Ice cream treats were the natural thing to enjoy.

We were nearing nap time for half of the clan and had reached the final attractions. We were hoping to go down the boot slide one more time but it was closed because the sun was shining on it! I had never seen that before but I certainly appreciated that the park didn't want our kiddos to burn their little legs.

We had such a good time and loved having the Bay Area cousins up in our neck of the woods. We can't wait to have the kids all together again!
