FairyTale Town

After Elizabeth was discharged from the hospital last week, we played at a park and discovered FairyTale Town nearby, but it was already closed for the day.  She was really disappointed that we couldn't go in.  She had an appointment for a lab draw to check her numbers on Monday, so I promised her we would go after her labs.  She really looked forward to our next rip to Sacramento to be able to visit FairyTale Town.

Well, Monday came and we were off to Sacramento for Elizabeth's lab draw. She was great, and we quickly made our way to FairyTale Town as soon as she was finished.

We had a blast! Elizabeth loved it all!

Here's some of the fun things we discovered....

Going under Humpty Dumpty's wall
King Arthur's Castle
Mary had a Little Lamb
There was an Old Woman who Lived in a Shoe
Pirate Ship

Gingerbread House
Tortoise and the Hare
Wizard of Oz



Cinderella

Jack and the Beanstalk
The Little Engine That Could
The Crooked Mile
Listening to The Three Little Pigs
The Cheese Stands Alone
Mother Goose
The Crooked House by the Crooked Mile (Elizabeth loved the Crooked Mile)

First ambulance ride


Tonight we took our first ambulance ride. It was a transfer from one hospital to another.

Elizabeth in the ER of the first hospital:




Then off to the ambulance for a 2+ hour transfer:




Strapped in like a race car driver:




On the way the ambulance got to use its lights when a car crash happened right in front of us and we stopped to help out. Elizabeth slept right through it. Amazingly the lady in the crash walked away without a scratch thanks to wearing a seatbelt.




Finally made it safe and sound to the second hospital to get some rest and work on learning how to spell.

In the Garden

It's great to be in California and able to enjoy the outdoors. Nothing like picking raspberries with grandma and watering Aunt Michelle's strawberries.

Road Trip!

Unexpected overnight stay at hospital in Iowa.




Narrowly missed a tornado in Nebraska, didn't think to get a picture in the gas station where we had to shelter for several hours. There was so much lightening that we could almost have turned of our headlights and driven by the lightening.

Massage for Mommy at the hotel that night when we finally stopped for the night.




Beautiful Wyoming.



Little America, WY



First sunset we saw in Utah.



Playing in Mamma and Papa Holly's "cabin".




Cafe Rio and ice cream trip after swimming with the Christensens.









Playing in the park waiting for Caleb to finish football practice.
