And they lived happily ever after.

 - by Brittany

Friday morning we took the kids to Fairy Tale Land. We got in line with a group of people, and followed them in. Then we realized we came in with a tour group and had just gotten in for free. Trust me, my first intention was not to go back to the front gate and pay, but that’s what we did. So after we payed for our already entranced fee, we found the “Old lady who lived in a shoe.”

Poor little Drew kept getting cut in line by the bigger kids, so his cool aunt saved the day. Let me tell you, they don’t make slides for people with birthing hips. It was a little snug.

And that’s as far as my camera made it before the battery died. I was the one who always had the camera out, so it’s only logical that it died. Luckily, Christina had her camera with her so I can continue to show you our time here.

Our next stop was the indian encampment in Neverland.

After learning about “What makes the red man red?” the boys headed over to Farmer Brown’s Barn to check out the donkey and cow along with a ride on his tractor. There were strict rules about feeding the animals.

There was even a tricky slide to get out of the loft in the barn.

While Christina took a break to feed Jenna, I took the boys over to Owl’s house. This slide was a little less forgiving than The old lady in the shoe’s. Pretty sure I got a bruise from this one. Only for you, Drew! (The pictures are blurred because we are going so fast.)

We saw some goats (I don’t remember what fairy tale they are from), and then we headed to Cinderella’s carriage.

Jack’s bean stalk was huge. Check it out!

We had to take the train to our next stop. The conductors were pretty cute.

Flopsy, Mopsy, and Cottontail were waiting out side Mr. McGurger’s garden. There were strict rules about them, too.

Next up, the Lion, the Tin Man, the Scarecrow, and Dorothy needed a face lift. We told the boys to stick their heads in the holes, which is exactly what they did. Therefore, you cannot see their faces in these pictures. (From left: Jameson, Kayden, Jenna, and Drew. Ella was sleeping.)

We read a few stories with Mother Goose, but she wasn’t very comfortable so we didn’t stay long.

Captain Hook was calling our name. He was also calling everyone else’s making one crowded ship.

Jameson and Drew loved the flower drinking fountains. Flower power… maybe not.

After all of our travels, we needed some lunch. So we stopped into King Arthur’s castle to have lunch under King Drew and Queen Christina’s rule. The round table made for a good picnic table.

Drew wanted to eat on his thrown. Mostly so no one would steal his food.

After our time under the rule of the king and queen, we headed on to Sherwood forest.

The forest offered some nice shade, and benches to sit and feed babies. Once the girls were fed, we collected the boys and headed for home. The kids had so much fun, and all crashed in the car on the way home.
