Fairytale Town.

Okay, The day I found this place, was the day I knew we were going to be just fine in Sacramento. Fairytale Town is da bomb! Really, we seriously need something like this in the good ole south. I found it online and on Tuesday, Reese and I headed to check it out. First, it's only $4 for me and Reese is free! It's open all day, filled with cute mom/kids, shaded nicely, it's awesome. It's an outdoor park that has playgrounds, slides, animals to pet, an outdoor theater, garden, stories for the kids to read about each station, things to climb on, Reese was in total awe of the place. Did I mention it is less than 5 miles from our house, too? Half of these pics are from the day Reese and I went (I didn't get as many pics since it was me, my camera, our waters and a 2 year old cracked out from the endless opportunities that were in front of her) but on Wednesday, the Carson's, Baleigh and the McPhersons all went, so I got lots of pics. Still not everything but I tried to capture our days. We will be back at least once a week.
Here's Reese after she climbed all over Mother Goose...

This was one of her favorites, Owl's Nest. SHe went up the stairs, played in the tree house and down the slide a zillion times...

Going up...

Sliding out of Owl's house...

Just chillin watching the other kids...

One of the "three little pigs" houses. There are three huge pot belly pigs inside...Reese had to correct me and say, "Those aren't little pigs, mommy."

The crooked mile...so cute...

We walked it on the first day and she loved it, it swirls all around through the trees...

Then, Daddy had to do it thee times the second day...

This is the crooked house at the end of the crooked mile. On the first day, a little boy walked in and Reese said "I'm Reese McPherson." The little boy said, "I'm Angelo and I come from my Daddy." Another boy in the house said, "I'm Jackson, I come from my mommy." Reese responded, "Well, I come from my Gigi." Awesome. On the way to the next playspot I informed her of the 52 pounds I gained...Gigi didn't.

I wished I had a pic of the outside of King Arthur's Castle. It's cute. It has a moat & everything, a round table inside too. We went in it 4 times in 2 days. Here's her and Daddy chatting here. We all had to sit at the round table and let her serve us grapes...

This was the only thing we couldn't put into a fairy tale. It was cute, though, a little Indian reservation...Matt & Dallas sat inside with the girls..not sure what kind of seance they were doing...

There's a whole bunny section with 4 huge (live) bunnies with names like, "Peter" and "Cottontail." Reese liked the one she could almost injure herself on much better than the real, cute ones...

There's a small hill with a slide and a well they can pump called "Jack & Jill's Hill" where the girls played (and the parents rested) and Reese & Mac had a popsicle...

A big block of cheese on one of the play areas...

There's a huge barn area "Farmer Brown's Barn" with a cows, roosters & a donkey "eeyore." Also, three blind mice (in a cage) and "Charlotte" the spider. Here's Reese climb into the top of the barn to get to the slide. There's a fun swirly slide out of the top of it...

Daddy & Reese with the cow & donkey...

Reese & Mac driving the tractor...

This was another favorite. One of the playground's is Sherwood Forest (very cool & I didn't get any pics) but the other is a princess one with this carriage, horses, etc. Here's Reese playing in it the first day...


And Matt with the girls in it the second...

And what would a funpark be without headless figures that instantly transport you into the Land of Oz? Reese did this by herself for 10 minutes the first day and insisted this was Goldilocks and her friends. By day two Daddy convinced her it was Dorothy...

And, of course a family shot...Awesome.

This is what she looked like after every slide...running back up the stairs...

This was one of the coolest parts to me. They have an entire garden the kids can water (over and over and over again). I worry about the plants health at the end of the day but it definitely kept Reese busy). Daddy kept her water bucket full...

And a few times she made it all the way to the plant sans water in her pail...

But since she watered them for 20 minutes, I think none of them were lacking love from Reese...

All the girls (minus Reese who was sitting on a bench talking)! Fun day! We will be back in the next few days for sure!

We grilled out last night and tonight's a family relaxing night too, chillin in the backyard...lots of FUN!
