Wylie City Park was an amazing place to stay.  Nice campground with full hook-ups and a big park surrounding it.  It is the home of Storybook land and we were wishing for our great grandson, Eldon and grandchildren Aubrey and Alex to share this experience with.  Below are just some of the sights that we saw.

The Yellow Brick road leads us right into the Storybook Land!

Can you name the nursery rhymes that go with the pictures?  I remembered most of them.
In case you can’t remember, I took pictures of some of the plaques by the displays.  This park was all done by volunteer donations.

The three little pigs.  Look on top of the house built of bricks—it’s the big bad wolf!

For an hour or so, Frank and I were kids again.  We went through the castle and saw Jack and the Beanstalk with the Giant climbing down.

As we left Storybook Land, there was a unique drinking fountain and a fountain of storybooks.

What a cool place to take your kids for a day of fun.  Even grandparents enjoy it.  We were fortunate to be able to go on a weekday after school had started and just stroll along looking and enjoying our selves.
Back on the road headed to Nebraska we had to go through Iowa.  Lots and lots of corn, and big rolls of hay right along the road side.

That’s a lot of corn!
