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...

A number of weeks ago we all headed over to the west coast to visit the McGuire/Bian side of the family. We stayed at Aunt Cindy's place in Wilton, CA. not much out there but roosters and horses.
Fae had a great time running around and playing with Juda.

that's Juda. (She was saying his name for days after we left)



giving daddy her best grin.



getting the hang of living in the country



loving ice-cream. NOTICE- two spoons.



and who doesn't enjoy bathing in the sink



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.

She lasted a good 5 minutes into the ceremony


Yes. that's me getting "sentimental."
