CasaPope: Storybook Glen

So there's apparently a place in Aberdeen on 28 acres that brings all our well-known nursery rhyme characters to life (well, life-size at least). Since James was at a board-in conference for 3 days in the area, I decided to take Stella for a lunchtime visit with Da and then a follow up trip to Storybook Glen across the road. More of a REALLY large park set in a forest like setting, this venue has a bit of everything. Typical park rides (springy animal deals, swings, slides, etc). Some of the characters are a bit more interactive than others. There's a wobbly bridge for Jack Be Nimble and the 3 little pig houses with the brick still up for kids to explore, Cinderella's coach for little princesses to ride. Some are more for show and photo ops. There is a live animal farm though (Old MacDonalds) with a selection of easy to keep animals I suppose (roosters, sheep, not sure what else as we didn't really explore that area. I did happen to see a cowie (Scottish cow somewhere between a cow and longhorn with bangs) on the hillside away from the general population. All in all, Stella had fun, and she did the most un-reluctant walking she's done since she learned how.
