Fairyland Fun

So a few months ago I bought a living social ticket to Fairyland.  I had heard great things about it from friends but had never been.  It was such a great deal that I bought 2!  I thought the timing was great so we could go as a family and then kinda forgot about them until the week before they expired.  We had to use them up so we made daddy go to work late one Saturday and then brought some of our best buddies the following week.  It was a blast!

If you haven't been you totally should!  It is perfect for preschool age kids.

Fairyland with Daddy

You get to go through the "little old lady's" shoe to enter.

The 3 little Pigs

Random other tales and fun.

Em loved this wall of Nursery Rhymes.  We went along the whole wall and looked at each picture and recited each rhyme.

Silly chairs with daddy

Riding the train.

This was one of P's favorite things the Alice in Wonderland, tunnel & maze.

Jack & Jill's hill was another favorite spot.  
Daddy even loved it!

Although we didn't take any pictures, we attended the puppet show.  The kids really liked it.  It was short and silly, right up their ally.  I'm thinking they are going to be much more excited to play with their puppets now.

There was this awesome Pirate Ship.
P climbed it.
P was bombarded with many many other kids.
P could not get down.
He stayed up there at least 15 mins.
Finally once most of the kids moved on I talked him down.
He was so scared but when he got to the bottom all by himself he was so proud!

P loved the Dragon Slide.
Em loved "reading" all the signs.  It made me laugh so hard the things she said it said.


Our day ended Happily Ever After, just as all the best adventures do.

We headed out to the grass and enjoyed a picnic before we had to drop daddy off at BART.  


The kids LOVED running around with daddy.


Fairyland with Buddies

Then entire week before we brought our friends with us the kids talked about it EVERYDAY.  They were so excited to go with them and show them all of their favorite things.  It was much busier the second time we went, but we still made the most of it.  Since it hadn't been long since we were there P was a little too comfortable with the place and literally just took off running to see whatever he wanted since he knew right where it was.  BAH!  Talk about stressful.  Needless to say we had MANY chats and lots of hand holding. 

This time the kids really enjoyed going on the rides together.

The Jolly Train

H & P were the only ones willing to do the Farris wheel, but they LOVED it!
I was so proud of how brave they were to go without any grown-ups.

We made a new discovery and P enjoyed being the wicked witch.



We ended the day with a Picnic.


Both trips were so much fun.  The kids have been asking to go back since we left.  Randomly they will think about it and ask me, "Do you remember Fairyland?"  I'm amazed at how much they learn from every little outing we go one.  These kiddos really are sponges.  So glad we have so many little places like this to go explore together.  Life is so good!  :)

Have you noticed?

I need a haircut ASAP! This is me saying, "I'll smile if you ignore my hair." Don't get me wrong, I am really excited I have long hair, I love having long hair , but it needs a little TLC. It has been a few months since I have even got a trim and I am still re-couping from a not so good hair cut. The last few times I have really CUT my hair, not just a trim, I was not pleased with the results. Now it would probably help if I was willing to pay more than $10 for a hair cut . . . but I'm Mrs. High Pockets as my father calls me and it is really hard for me to spend money on my hair. So I need your help! What do you think I should do? Before you make any suggestions you should know: It MUST be able to go back into a ponytail!!!!!!! My hair is STICK STRAIGHT My hair will not curl to save my life (via over night curls, hot curls, even curling irons, they just don't work) I want and need something EASY! I do not like to spend time on my hair and I don...

Em's Blessing

Emily's Blessing day was so great! Since we were moving home so soon after she was born, we decided to just wait until we got out here to CA so our family could be there for it. It was pretty low key compared to P's (and by that I mean less family there) but was still just as wonderful. Jeff gave a beautiful blessing. It was also special because she wore the dress I was sealed to my parents in. Jeff wasn't a fan of how long it was for such a small baby, but it was so neat for her to wear something that is so special in my family. The P-man looked like a little stud in his outfit too! I wish I would have gotten some of the two of them together, o-well. It was a fabulous day! Thanks so much for all the family and friends that were there, it meant so much to have you there and we missed those who couldn't come! Isn't she so perfect! I love this picture of her laying on the grass. She is so pure and clean and perfect ! I love her!

Disneyland

A little late but . . . We Went To Disneyland! So you may or may not know that we went to Disneyland back in July. It was so much fun! As we were planning the trip I was really worried about how it would be taking 2 babies there, in my mind they were way too young to do anything there but boy was I wrong! All of us had a great time and we all went on tons of rides, even Emily! Here is a list of all the rides we went on: (The bold ones were P's very favorites) Disneyland Railroad Train Enchanted Tiki Room The Jungle Cruise Tarzan's Tree House Pirates of the Caribbean Haunted Mansion Winnie the Pooh It's a Small World Story Book Land canal boats King Aurthur's Carousel Dumbo Mad Tea Party Tea Cups Peter Pan Mr. Toad's Wild Ride Pinocchio Finding Nemo Submarine Autopia (Cars) Did you know babies could do this much! I sure didn't! I even nursed during 4 of the above mentioned rides which was so nice and saved tons of time! They both did so well on all of the...
