Since Aberdeen was the place we ended up spending the night and D hearing from Uncle S about the fun park there, we decided to head to Storybook Land on our way out of town. M&D thought we might spend an hour or so, have lunch and then finish the trip to MN. C and I had so much fun though that we ended up being there almost 3 hours.
Storybook Land is the home of Wizard the Oz and the yellow brick road, but there are a lot of other fun characters there also from all your favorite stories. The best park--FREE admission. It really is more of a playground with statues everywhere, but we were the perfect age to enjoy it! D even got into the fun--having the lion bite his head as he tried to get a drink of water on the hot 90 degree day.
Riding the ponies on the way to.....
Peter, Peter Pumpkin Eaters house!
We climbed the hill with Jack and Jill, sailed on the blue seas with the pirates, played in the woods with Bambi and friends, passed the 3 little pigs and their houses and climbed Rupunzel's castle.
Then we stopped to eat lunch before heading to the Land of Oz!
Enjoying the fountain of books.
We walked the yellow brick road with Dorothy and her friends, past the Scarecrow's cornfield, through the woods to the tin man and into the cave of the lion. We walked through the haunted forest and past the witch's castle until we got to Emerald City and the balloon ride of the Wizard. What an adventure!
We ended the day with a ride around the park on their little train and a stop by the zoo to see the buffalo!
