Fairytale Town!

 February 4th was free museum day here in Sacramento. We decided that we wanted to take advantage of a free day. We've gone to pretty much all the museums here but we hadn't been to this park called Fairytale Town. It's right across from the Sacramento Zoo. It's such a fun place based on all the fairy tales. There's the castle and the Knights of the round table. The boys had fun taking turns sitting in the kings throne.
 They had some animals there to represent some of the animals in different fairy tales. They had potbellied pigs for the three little pigs and some goats for the billy goats gruff. There was a tarantula for the spider who sat down next to miss muffet. And various other animals. So much fun. We weren't allowed to pet the animals though.
 There was also many play structures with the themes of the fairy tales. A pirate ship for treasure island, a giant shoe for the woman who lived in the shoe, a giant cheese slice( I forget what that one is from, maybe three blind mice), there was a maze for the crooked mile. I loved the Cheshire cat in the tree! The kids were having such a fun time. It was a beautiful day and they loved being able to run around and explore and just play!
 Even Jaden was having a good time. We let him sit in the playground to crawl around but there were too many kids and he was unsure about crawling around. But he liked playing with the wood chips where he was sitting. Eventually he just wanted snuggle time with mom and dad. Ron relished his snuggle time with Jaden. He doesn't snuggle with daddy very often because he is such a mama's boy. Ron was absolutely loving it! It really was a beautiful day and the perfect way to spend our free museum day!
