Fairy Tale Village & Crown Center

Towards the end of March Kevin and I took Kinley to Fairy Tale Village at Crown Center. Fairy Tale Village was a free exhibit for kids that we thought Kinley would enjoy. There were castles, bridges, forests and other fairy tale themed sets that the kids could play in. Kinley must have been overwhelmed by it all because she was not very interested in the exhibit. We did get a few pics though.

By far Kinley's favorite thing at Fairy Tale Village was this bridge. She just kept going over...


And back.


Here is Kinley crossing the bridge to get into the castle. You can't tell by the picture, but all Kinley did was go on the bridge, she was not interested in going into the castle.


Here is Kinley going into the 3 Little Pigs' House.


And here is Kinley making a dash for the exit.


After Fairy Tale Village we headed to the Crayola Store.




Kinley had a lot of fun in this store. She colored on the easel,

at the craft table,


and ran around the store to see what else she could find.


She found a colorful wheel of crayons.


She also found a coloring kit she thought she had to have.


Next we let Kinley work up her appetite by letting her run through the glass skyways downtown.


"Keep up Dad, quit taking so many pictures of me."


After all that it was time for lunch! Grandma Beamer, Grandpa Melcher and Aunt Kate all work near Crown Center, so we were able to meet them for lunch. We ate in the Crown Room at Hallmark. Hallmark has a really good cafeteria and by this time we were all hungry. The pics from lunch didn't turn out great, but here we all are eating lunch together. What a fun day!


We went back to Fairy Tale Village a few weeks later with Chase and his family, but sadly we didn't take any pics that time. Kinley enjoyed the exhibit a little more the second time around. I guess she just needed a warm up trip first.
