Fairy Tale town...
Also in California is this wonderful place called Fairytale town where, you guessed it, there is a slide that looks like a show, a carriage that looks like a pumpkin...etc. Below are some highlights


Once upon a time...there was some land



and on this land someone decided to build this magical park filled with fairytale things (Connor on a stone foot)




and a train...(Faelyn telling us to get on board!)




riding one of the carriage horses.




and of course the show slide...(Faelyn and Connor HAD to go on this I don't know how many times...)






Yes, that's a flower water fountain




making sure there is enough ammo




See the Turtle of enormous girth.

California...continued.
Faelyn showed us all some potential...

Faelyn enjoying the peace and quiet of it all.

On April 26th, we were all very lucky to attend the beautiful wedding of our friends Steve and Kenzie at the Chicago Yacht club.
