Enchanted Forest

Last Saturday, John and I took Julia to the Enchanted Forest at the Pink Palace museum in Memphis. Enchanted Forest has been around for 50 years and holds a fond memory in most every Southerner's mind. It was once housed at Goldsmith's and I remember what it looked like and smelled like from when I visited when I was a little kid. Santa awaits at the end of the forest. We skipped Santa this year, but Julia loved seeing all of the animated characters. We met Tracy, Brad, Dempsey, and Joanie there. Tracy and I still look at each other and grin when we are together with our families. We were buck wild together in high school and we hope that our girls don't pay us back one of these days!

Julia was fascinated by the circus that was on display at Enchanted Forest. It was animated and huge!

Julia got to turn her car seat to the forward facing position in the car. John and I are positively sure that we know why they make them face the rear for the first year of their lives....because wrecks would be much more common that they are because parents would be turned around staring at their precious babies instead of paying attention to the road!

We noticed some teeth marks on the top rail of Julia's baby bed. We have always bragged on her because she is so quiet when she wakes up from her nap or in the morning. She just quietly lays in bed and will make some sweet little talking sounds when she is ready to get up.....or so we thought until now! These teeth marks are getting worse by the day and you can see the wood in several places! Guess that explains the quiet time.
