We went to Storybook Island this morning. It is a free city park with lots of fun nursery rhyme themed buildings and statues. They also offer 3 free plays a day through the summer. We were only there for short time while Hannah was at her flute class, so we weren't able to see a play, but we enjoyed running around the park.

We went into Peter's Pumpkin, and the 3 Little Pigs' home. We climbed on Little Engine #9 and crossed the bridge to the other side with the 3 Billy Goats Gruff. We climbed a tower and even went down a slide through an ice cream cone.

I noticed a man painting the wheel of the train, and I was suprised to see that he was wearing a bright orange shirt with "INMATE" printed on the back. I saw a few more inmates working around the park to get it in tip-top shape for the summer, and I thought: at least they are easy to spot in their bright orange shirts. Then I looked down and noticed that I, too, was wearing a bright orange shirt! Hmmm.

Luckily my orange shirt had a little more style than the inmates', and there was nothing printed on the back, but I still felt a little silly.
