Once Upon A Time…

…there was a young family.  They were visiting a far-off city when they found the most wonderful park.  All their favorite storybook characters were there – the three pigs, Snow White, Winnie the Pooh, Captain Hook, Bambi, Dr. Seuss, Raggedy Ann & Andy, and a host of other friends.  Can you imagine what their day was like?  Probably not, so I will just let you look at the pictures!

There was an old(well, middle-aged) woman who lived in a shoe,

It was such a bad picture, she didn’t know what to do….

So she just put it on her blog anyway.

Jungle fun

A little merry-go-round fun, and lots of laughter

There are tons of pictures from this little afternoon trip, and even more characters and activities than I have mentioned.  What a delightful place to spend with the family.  Best of all, there is no admission fee, just a donation box!  The kids have already asked if we can go back.  And here I thought they would all live happily ever after!

THIS IS NOT

The End
