Last End of Summer Play Day

 As the summer draws to a close, we wanted to share one more day with Emma doing something fun.  We started our summer with Enchanted Forest, so decided to end it the same way!

We had planned to come her on Labor Day, but other plans got in the way for the whole weekend, so Glenn decided to take off Friday so we could play.  We decided not to push it, and had a lazy morning, not arriving to the park until it was lunch time. Emma insisted that we needed to lunch by the water show instead of the hamburger stand where we could sit outside. She wanted her cheese pizza and the watch the water dance. So we walked up the hill to the Water Show and got in line.  Unfortunately, they were momentarily out of pizza and asked us to come back in 10 minutes.  So, we sat in the front row by the water and enjoyed the show while we waited.
 After lunch, we headed back to the front gate to take the fairy tale trail up to the top.  Glenn decided he needed a photo of Emma and I under the arch, but we were lucky that someone came by and asked if she could get a shot of all of us.
 Next it was on to visit our favorite fairy tales.  Emma gets a little braver each time (as is evidenced by the photo of her standing in the Witches mouth), and has decided to be willing to go into the dark caverns.  However, she is still not ready to do Alice's Rabbit Hole, and has decided the Old Woman's Shoe Slide is not for her.
 I had to add this photo, as it is the first real photographic evidence I have seen that I am losing weight! Yeah!!!
 We once again got the Kiddie Ride bracelet for Emma to ride her 4 rides.  She made good use of it this time, and rode twice as many times as the cost of the bracelet. She loves these rides, and had such a blast, making new best friends (2) along the way.  She even decided at one point that she didn't need Mom & Dad any longer, as long as we could see her.
 After the park, we had a nice dinner at California Pizza Kitchen, and did some grocery shopping.  Then is was home to bed and some sleep for our tired little girl.  A fun way to end the summer.
