We went to Kingsport in search of a special park for children of all abilities. There is a "Braille Trail" in the park which includes signs for blind children to read. Fragrant plants surround the trail to appeal to one's sense of smell. Special glasses are available at the park which obscure one's view helping sighted kids to walk a mile in a blind kid's shoes. This park opened in April and I had read about it in the newspaper a few weeks ago. The weather was beautiful and it was the perfect day to go exploring.
While we were there, we happened upon a curious wardrobe. It seemed odd that one might need heavy fur coats in the late spring!
In the wardrobe we discovered a secret door to a wonderful land. Becca made friends quickly with a gentleman faun named Mr. Tumnus who invited us back to his house for some tea (and formula). Becca had a lovely time with Mr. Tumnus and promised to visit again.
But when the White Witch found out about Becca's visit, she was very angry with Mr. Tumnus and she turned him into stone. Oh no!
The White Witch was angry indeed! So Becca went off in search of the White Witch and ran into the Beaver family along the way. The Beavers knew how Becca could save Mr. Tumnus - she needed Aslan to help!
Becca didn't have to look far to find the White Witch because she was already driving her sleigh - and in hot pursuit of Becca's posse. 
(Come to think of it ... the White Witch looks a lot like Becca. Hmmm...)
So anyway, we finally ran into this Aslan guy and, as it turned out, he's one powerful dude! Aslan gave Becca a ride to the stone table where he offered his life to the White Witch in exchange for the little Becca.
But Alsan and his love are too powerful! He arose again to lead all of the good creatures in battle against the evil witch. We stormed the Witch's castle and broke Mr. Tumnus out of his stone curse. All was right in Narnia again!
Becca, Mommy, Daddy the camera man, and Mr. Tumnus all lived happily ever after.
Or someting like that.
What a great day!
