In case you have missed it with all the Fairy Garden posts of late, we kinda like Fairies in our house. There is one fairy in particular that we LOVE! Twig the Fairy visits the Renaissance Festival every year and Riley adores her...and really so do the rest of us. Rowan and Josh included:) So we got to visit her in AZ this past winter and then we got to go this weekend here in MN with two of Riley's favorite girls who we rarely see anymore, Emme and Izze! (They go to school full time during the school year now so their nanny, my friend Shannon, works for another family now.) So far a Fantastic weekend! Cornfest is also this weekend and Emme and Izze will be joining us today for that!

Ok, so with everyone heading back to school we are SMOOSHING as many play dates in as possible, especially with my teacher friends and kids going to school full days now. Yesterday, we headed to Edina for a park and picnic date with my college roomie (teacher) and her boys. We spent 4 hours there with perfect weather and constant airplanes and bulldozer/backhoes to entertain! (There was a construction project farther back of the park.) A GREAT day! Thanks Jeca!
