Enchanted Forest

When I was a kid growing up the most fun and unimaginably exciting place to go was Disneyland.  These were visits during the first decade of its existence in Anaheim, CA.  While not nearly as exotic as Disneyland, our kids and grandkids have often gone to the Enchanted Forest theme park just south of Salem, OR.  It has its quirks and things we make fun of and laugh about later.  But I give it high marks for what it is.

In 2012 we had all 7 grandkids there.  Paisley had persisting nightmares about the witch.

In 2013 it took two trips to get all the grandkids there.  I had Miriam, Magdalena, and Eli by myself the first visit.  They were such excellent kids!  Eli got two trips, as he joined with Brooklyn, Jonah, Paisley, and Shiloh for the second group.

Enchanted Forest is another place where we have many magical family memories.
