Fairyland!

We went to Fairyland on Saturday. John had gotten up early, and then didn't take a nap, so when we put him in the car at 1pm to drive to Oakland, he fell asleep. He was pretty sleepy and groggy when we got there. He surprisingly let us put his lion costume on. Dad was dressed as a 40's reporter, and I was Autumnal Mother Nature. Most parents weren't dressed up (but some were, including an elaborate Glenda the good witch mother and her daughter Dorthy and son Scarecrow). John had one of the best costumes there, so I was pretty proud.
He wondered around bewildered for awhile. The park is aimed at 3-4 year olds, with little nursery story exhibits. Some had little rides attached, or you can climb inside and there is a slide. John was just happy to be wondering around in a safe place. His favorite was all the acorns on the ground. He kept trying to pick them all up. He met a dragon costume character, but was too shy to go over to him. He followed the dragon at a distance, trying to get his tail.
John finally perked up, but then it was closing time!
