Monday morning, we woke up and had breakfast in our own suites. (How grownup was that?) We were scheduled to leave our beautiful suites in Jamestown at 8 a.m. and we left just moments after that so we would arrive when Aberdeen’s Wylie Park where Story Book Land and the Wizard of Oz Park opened. We arrived at the park about 11 minutes after 10 and there were already several school buses and nursery school buses there. It was such a great day for an outing and the park was plenty big enough for all of us. Hillary decided in the van that we should pretend that we had just crashed (plane) and that we landed in an odd part of the world and that we were going to be discovering it as we went along. We did that for about the first 10 or 15 minutes until we got to a spot where one of the park workers was planting flowers and she kept giving Hillary strange looks as Hillary was saying things like, "What a bizarre and strange place this is.....everything looks so strange and scary." Mrs. Wooley explained to the lady that we were a troupe of actors and that this is what we do for fun. We loved the park and stayed for about one hour and 45 minutes before leaving to go to Millstone Restaurant to meet with Aunt Phyllis and Grandma Hope. We ate lunch and laughed a lot. We were really hungry and we had a wonderful waitress who really liked us and even gave Hillary a second cup of cocoa with whipped cream. On the way out she told us good bye with our own names. (Good memory) We sang our World Famous "Road Kill" song for Aunt Phyllis and Grandma Hope before leaving Aberdeen. On the way home we stopped at Watertown for gas and our final leg of the journey was to Elk Point to visit Edgar's for ice cream. Mr. Wooley greeted us back at the theatre. We all decided that it was too short of a tour and that we would love to keep doing this show for more kids. We learned a lot and had a lot of fun.
Grace, Josie and Hillary
