Good times

I love the obsessions of 3 year olds, and I find myself indulging them (just a little). At 3, Chad loved Thomas the train. Watched the movies, had the toys, wore the clothes. And when Thomas came to Mt. Hood, of course we went. And now it's Aubrey's turn with a fancy for princesses. I had a hard time deciding where to take her. We are still avoiding Disneyland, and I have an unusual fear of public transportation that deters me from any Disney on Ice production. At last I found the place - The Enchanted Forest! The park takes you through all of the fairy tales - with Alice in Wonderland rabbit holes; princess castles; Snow White's cottage (although Snow White was kind of creepy, creepy like the puppets on Mr. Rogers). She loved it, my work is done.





As for the rest of our vacation, our days were spent biking, spelunking in lava caves, hiking volcanoes, and shopping at Walmart (the closest Walmart is 40 minutes from our house, we take every chance we can get). Good times.

Those pictures look close enough to Disneyland to me (the little Storybook ride among others). I'd say you missed out on a lot of lines and crowds not to mention the bad traffic! Good job, looks fun!
