Fairy note

Emily sweetly made treats for the fairies and left them a note still hoping that they will stay for her to take care of them. 

Fairy potion in the rain

It was a rainy day outside. What do kids living in San Diego who rarely experience rain want to do? Play outside in the rain! And so Emily did with her friend. They danced in the rain, jumped in puddles and made a potion for their fairies. 

Fairy fest

For our second year in a row, we headed up to Encinitas for the botanical garden's fairy festival. Emily still loves her fairies, though it's not as pervasive as it was last year, she and Kyle both had a blast doing the different fairy projects they offered. This year they made fairy potpourri, painted fairy treasure chests and gathered materials for a fairy house. And on our way out, Emily got to hold a bird. I want to call it a parrot or a macaw, but I can't remember what it actually is. Nonetheless, they had a great time. Aaron had fun too though his fun was more of the toddler wandering around and picking up bark kind of fun. At least this year he was awake for it. Last year he was passed out, sweating in the bjorn on me.
