Fairy Land

I am playing catch up! We went to Fairyland in Oakland during the week between Christmas and New Years. We met one of Brandon's coworkers who lives nearby and his 3 kids for a fun morning. Fairyland has been around for quite awhile, Brandon used to go as a little kid and so did Grammie! There are a couple kid sized rides, I was reading about them online before we went, and most were put in there in the 50s. It is a perfect toddler, early elementary aged park. The kids go by themselves on the 3 or 4 rides, no adults allowed, and everything is based off of the old fashioned mother goose style fairy tales (the old lady who lived in a shoe, Humpty Dumpty, etc) or a little Disney (Peter Pan, Snow White, etc).

Riding the Ferris Wheel

 Carousel all by himself

 Taking a moment with Grammie
 Zoe excited about the 7 dwarfs. Can you name them all?
 I love iphones and google...we got them all except for this one in the glasses!
 Look! A gigantic sofie the giraffe!!
 Everyone was worn out after a fun filled day!!

We figured that out with google, Michelle! Doc just doesn't fit with all the others so we just couldn't remember it!!
