"Castles In the Sky Sit Stranded..."

Tonight we took the kids on a "Big Adventure".
Quincy loves, and I mean LOVES the Barbie and the Diamond Castle movie, so we went on a quest for a Diamond Castle of our own. The girls were SO excited for the search.
There is a little glass chapel tucked away in the woods about 2 miles from our home. The church has a little trail that goes around it, overlooking a lake (not sure which one, Lake Norwood, maybe? Lake Rayburn?). We went for a walk, enjoyed the luck we have in being able to live in such a beautiful place, and took some pictures.
That is the lake glistening through the trees. Breathtaking (not in a Seinfeld way-but a "WOW, that is beautiful" way.When we got to the chapel, Quincy slapped her hands on her face and said, "Look Daddy!" Reese covered her mouth with her hands with excitement. It IS a beautiful building-a piece of art, really. ...but the reactions on my kids' faces was too funny. You'd think they'd just happened upon Sleeping Beauty's Castle at Disneyland.
If only I'd thought ahead to let them wear their princess dresses, the scene would have been complete!

I love these pictures. I wish we had gone to see the diamond castle when I was there. Lets plan on it next trip and have them wear their dresses.

That is where I got married! The first time Chris went in, he said "This is it. This is where we will be married." We both love it. I am so glad your girls did too. :0)
