After two months of rain-filled weekends, we finally had a truly gorgeous Saturday! The fantastic weather aligned with the last weekend of the fall season at Storybook Land so we made the trip and had a wonderful and festive day.
We got there before opening and enjoyed the park nearly empty for the first 30 minutes before the rest of southern New Jersey arrived and filled the park to capacity. It was trick-or-treat weekend so each kid got a bag to stop at various rides and pick-up some treats. There were lots of families in costumes and the 80 degree weather and beautiful fall leaves made for a really wonderful environment.
We did our favorite rides, filled our candy bags, and ran through the hay maze which Kip really go into this year.
It was crowded and we had to wait in a few lines, but overall we were as happy as could be at this special little place we all love.
Ivy has been talking all summer about the Alice in Wonderland tunnel which was closed the last time we visited. She had some sort of stuck memory about it and was eager to see it again. They had repainted it and filled it with new backlights so it looked even more trippy than before.
Sometimes you just have one of those golden days where things just work out (traffic, weather, finances) and everyone is in a good mood. It happens so rarely that when you realize your in one, it's such a blessing. Our first visit to Storybook Land back in 2019 was a golden day and we've been chasing that memory here ever since. So grateful for this little place so close to home and a perfect day to make the trip.
The kids are already talking about returning to see Santa here soon.
I love this so much! I’m glad you had this wonderful time making precious memories together! ❤️
