Katherine and I took a trip to California to visit my brother and his family. I surprised her and did not tell her until the day before we went. It was so much fun to have a 4 day trip with just Katherine. She really has gotten to be such a big girl and was wonderful to travel with. We went for no special reason but to go play with cousins. So, we flew using buddy passes from my brother. That means flying standby and it took us three flights to get there.
Katherine is all buckled up and ready to go. She had fun packing her airplane bag and she did great keeping herself entertained. This was the first flight in over 4 years that I have not had a lap child so I really enjoyed being able to actually read some magazines.
She had her own rolling backpack which she carried about half the time and I carried about half the time.
On Friday I took Katherine and Sophia to the park while Will stayed home with Ally while she napped. They had so much fun playing together. Katherine loves playing with the flowers and she was pretending to make all kinds of food dishes for me.
After Ally woke up we went to
Fairy Tale Town which is a fun park with all kinds of things to play on from different fairy tales and nursery rhymes.
We started off in King Arthur's Castle and sat on his throne.
The tortoise from the tortoise and the hare.
Katherine playing on the foot from the giant in "Jack and the Beanstalk".
Cinderella's carriage is always a favorite.
Here are the girls with Mother Goose. It is actually a slide.
I enjoyed holding sweet Ally. She is the most laid back baby.
This was a pretty steep curvy slide at "Old Mac Donald's Farm".
The "Crooked Mile"
Owl's tree house from "Winnie the Pooh".
The kids were worn out by the time we got home and all took nice long naps.
