Fairy Tale time at the Castle

Yes, flip flops are authorized princess footwear.
miles and miles of nothing but miles and miles

princesses using binoculars to see cattle and elk


every castle needs to have a knight, little miss called it a soldier (she is a first grader so she knows)



other little miss kept looking back with smiles about the dragon story

M has had Friday and Monday as a long weekend vacation. (School gave 2 extra days in the schedule back to the kids this weekend) M certainly needed it... she is ready for summer vacation. So today we signed up for Fairytale story time at the Cherokee Ranch Castle. The history is VERY interesting (http://www.cherokeeranch.org/history.htm) It is still a working ranch with over 1000 acres that are guaranteed to not be developed.
So the girls dressed up their princess finery and then when Daddy brought back the keys to the car that he accidentally took to work, off we went. And Wow! We saw a wild turkey and a deer on the 2 mile dirt road up up up to the "princess'" castle (that is what B called it). Very spectacular view and fun time for the kids.
