On Friday, July 12th, we went to "Story Land", a theme park in Glen, New Hampshire.
This was our third time to go, and we are in love with this park! Definitely a must for kids under 10!
It was a special trip for Annika because we also bought tickets for her to have tea with Cinderella. We also told her she can get a pretty dress at the gift shop.
Unfortunately, we told her about Cinderella a few days before going to the park, so, when we got to Story Land, she refused to have any fun until she had tea with Cinderella. Ugh!

The park opened at 9:30AM, and our reservation for tea was at 11AM. (Thank goodness we reserved the earliest possible time available!)
So, the boys rode several rides for the first 1.5 hours. Here is G's absolute favorite ride. I think he went on it at least 10 times.
Meanwhile, Annika pouted and refused to ride on anything! So, 15 minutes before tea, we went to the tea room. We were the first ones there. So, we waited...and waited...
Finally, they let us in. G did amazing! He was the ONLY boy there!
Where is Cinderella?
Cinderella finally arrived and Annika was enthralled! We definitely made memories here. She talks about her tea party with the princess every day! She loved it!
Cinderella showed everyone proper tea etiquette.
Annika was super shy when the princess came to talk to her:
After tea, Cinderella taught the girls how to curtsy and then she told G how to bow like a prince. And, she read a book to the kids.
Then everyone received a gift from Cinderella, and we took some great pictures.
Oh, Annika was happy! She was so happy! She was so, so, so, so happy!
After our tea with Cinderella, we ran into our good friends, who also came to the park that day. We rode on one ride together, then went our separate ways. Annika decided she wanted some ice cream.
After ice cream, we went to the gift shop and Annika picked a dress and a toy, then Joseph and G went to ride some big rides and I took Annika to see Cinderella in her castle.
We rode a pumpkin to the castle and Annika wasn't so shy talking to Cinderella this time. She showed her all of the purchases we had just made :)
Checking out Cinderella's shoe:
This is one of Annika and G's favorite rides, "Crazy Barn".
View from the Ferris Wheel ride:
Visiting the little old lady that lives in the shoe. She gives every kid a sticker.
We visited the Three Bears' house. The kids love the book so much, but Annika was terrified to go in!
"Grandma" Wolf and Little Red Riding hood.

Another ride on the ferris wheel:
Mother Goose herself!
After we left the park, we met up with our friends and had dinner together. Then we drove straight home. Great day for everyone!
