Storybook Land

This Friday was the final day of the Christmas Storybook land, and since our attempts to go last weekend were foiled by a little ice, we had to go then. We met Grandma & Grandpa at the fairgrounds at about 6:15 (not knowing that it didn't actually open until 6:30) which was a good thing, because there was already a line!

There are Christmas trees with lights making a path through the building, and scenes from various story books set up to look at, they also have a big section with teddy bears doing all kinds of things, and some huge model train sets, and a victorian doll house version of town. My personal favorite part is the smell of all the Christmas trees!

At the entrance to the path there were 2 life sized toy soldiers, and I thought that that would be the end of our trip. Dean saw them and started to freak out, but I whisked him past, and we skillfully avoided any other life sized characters.

It took him a few minutes to relax after the scary statues, but once we got to the Frosty the Snowman station, he started to point and laugh and "What's That?" to everything again. He loved watching the trains and the teddy bears and pointed at everything.

We decided not to risk a trip to Santa, plus it was getting late and the line was long, and we were still going to go eat (Dean also had his first public meltdown, Grandma & Grandpa were shocked!).

Random Picture Challenge

Time for another Random Picture Challenge from 4 little men & girly twins.

This week is Feb 2008 or 17th folder 33rd picture.


I was hoping I had a picture from Feb 2008 because that was when my girls won the State Swim Meet, and they pushed Coach and me into the pool. No such luck, so....

Here D is with Grammy for his first Christmas. He really liked that bow!
