Fairy Castles and Dragon Dens

We went camping a couple weekends ago and as always it was quite the adventure for our girls. To say that they love camping just doesn't do it justice. If it weren't for the lack of sleep from all the excitement, it would have been perfect.

Ellie was excited to go into the enchanted forest and find an enchanted fairy circle. It's a small circle about this big (according to Ellie), just big enough for you to step in. Once you do, it transports you to fairy land. For real life. They're not easy to find and sadly we never did find one in our enchanted forest.


That didn't stop us from finding proof that fairies really do exist. CHECK. OUT. THIS. FAIRY. CASTLE!!!! Holy smokes, it's stunning. Ellie says the princess lives in the tower on the left and the King and Queeen Fairies live in the tallest tower. Addie asked where the little sister princess fairy lives and Ellie didn't hesitate to show her which tower was small enough for little sister fairies.


And that's when the fun began. We started finding fairy castles EVERYWHERE. Some of them had tall spires and towers while others had lots of little windows to peek into. We decided that all the ants must be the fairies' pets but we couldn't see the fairies themselves because they were sleeping.


Though Addie isn't in any of the photos (sometimes you just can't force it upon a child), she prided herself in being able to spot new fairy castles. She was able to see them quicker than either Mommy or Ellie. She's a natural fairy hunter. The good kind, of course.


She was also the one who decided that rocks are where dragons live. This rock is the home of a very very big but nice dragon.


And I'm sure you don't have to stretch your imagination too far to see that this is the home of a small dragon.


Don't believe that dragons exist? Here's proof. It's a little dragon toy, obviously carved by a Mommy dragon for her little one to play with. Duh.
