Fairy Tale Town

April 26
Sunday we decided to go to Fairy Tale Town. Lon had been talking about it ever since we saw it on our way to the Zoo. He loved it. 4 Acres of preschool fun. We stayed for over 4 hours. Lon was so excited, so happy to be there. He ran all over the place, saw everything 5 or 6 times!

The pirate ship was a favorite!



Cinderella's coach, it has horses you will see soon.













Jack and Jill's water pump at the top of a hill. Yes, water actually flowed from the pump.


The barn slide. On the other side, where you actually enter the barn, go up the stairs and down the slide. They have the Irish Dexter Cow, which is a mini-cow. But he looked big enough to me, and they had a donkey, name Eyeore. Eyeore was very fun, I got to pet him and he played, ran, kicked his legs up, and some people ran by the fence and he chased them! He was having a very good day. so were we.

Cinderella's horses!



Moo-lan and Eyeore.


Look, animals! It's the cow I was telling you about.


Lon spent about 45 minutes playing on the tractor. He put gas in it, he changed the oil, he drove it like crazy!

The old lady who lived in a shoe, now it is a slide.

We got a key, and there are places we could use it. Although most of them did not work. Lon would listen for a little bit, then off he would go. We gave the key to another little girl on her way in. We were not going to need it again this trip!

More barn sliding!




Owl's slide. They were big on slides.

King Lon in King Arthur's Castle. He loved running in and out of the castle. Okay, he loved running around the entire place. We did have lunch inside the park. It was not expensive, it was hot dogs and uncrustables. It was great!


Chugging apple juice inside Hiawatha's tent.


I loved this water fountain, and Lon did too.

I just love these pictures, Susan--when we lived in Oakland, we lived about a mile from Fairyland, which is quite similar, and Ella (who was three and four at the time) and I would haunt that place...also spending hours and hours at a time there. And when I was a small girl in Ohio, my grandma would take me to Mother Goose Land. Apparently there was a time when parks like this studded the US...there was even one in the Seattle area. Most are gone, though. :(
