We went to New Hampshire over the weekend to take the kids to Story Land which is a theme park geared towards little kids. The park is based off of classic fairy tales.
We got up early Friday and headed to the hotel. When we pulled up to the hotel Madeleine was so excited and thought we were already at Story Land. We walked around a little bit and saw a pool and one set of swings and she was thrilled. It was so cute that she was so easily pleased. After checking in we went on a small hike to see a local waterfall. After being in the car for 3 hours the kids were happy to be outside.
Brrr the water was cold!
Like many things, Bridget slept through most of it.
After lunch and before heading to Story Land we got some ice cream.
Claire for some weird reason does not really like ice cream so she just played on the playground.
Madeleine on teh other hand loves ice cream and took a break from playing to enjoy a cone.
Finaly at Story Land! We spent three hours at the park on Friday and went on over half the rides and saw one show. We were able to do a lot in 3 hours because there weren't many people at the park.

Our first ride was a water ride. Not a good choice! Madeleine hated getting wet and refused to go on any of the other water rides the rest of the trip. She loved every other ride she went on except this one. Our first day there was on Friday afternoon so the park was pretty empty which was really nice because there were not any lines.

Crazy barn
Claire waving to Paul and Madeleine in the barn.
Madeleine insisted on going on the roller coaster which I thought was going to be a disaster but she loved it! She did it two times in a row and then on Sunday went on it about 4 times. I went with her on Sunday and said I was scared so she talked me through the whole ride. It was very sweet and cute.
The three bears house
It was pouring down rain on Saturday so we spent most of teh day at an indoor waterpark. Madeleine and Claire loved it!
Once again Bridget slept through all of the fun.
Braving the wave pool
It was rainy again on Sunday so we got up and went back to the water park for a couple of hours before heading back to Story Land. We were there from about 11-5 and since it was rainy there was hardly anyone at the park. We had most of the rides to ourselves and were even able to stay on them and go multiple times in a row. On Sunday we went on almost every ride, saw two shows, and had tea with Cinderella.
Tea Time
When Cinderella walked in Claire freaked out and ran off. It was actually pretty funny.
Getting Cinderella's autograph
Claie got her autograph and took off. Wouldn't even stand still long enough for a picture.
Despite the rain it was a great weekend.
