Autumn in Oz 2009

The girls and I went to mountains this past weekend with my parents and my sisters family. We rented a cozy cabin and took the kids to Autumn in Oz festival that happens once a year on Beech Mtn. If you ever have a chance to go it's a real treat! My girls loved it and I'm sure will never forget meeting all the characters from the beloved book and movie!
