More Fairies

A few weeks ago, I did a post about the fairies "living" in our backyard.  Well, after Irene, the girls became convinced that the only reason why there was no damage in our yard was because the fairies protected it.  And who knows, maybe they did.  Anyway, the idea that the fairies protected our home and yard resulted in a frenzy of building in the yard, as well as the leaving of several notes for the fairies.  The building became an all consuming task that even interested several other neighborhood kids.  Below are some shots of all the interesting things that the girls made for their fairies.
If you were a fairy, you would want to live here. 
After a couple of days, the girls got curious about the fairies and started to leave them notes. 

The patience of Elizabeth. 
Emily was so excited to see that the fairies answered  her question. 
This is some serious engineering. 
One night, a fairy left a self-portrait. 
"Welcome to Fairy Town" 
Nice awning. 

One Sunday afternoon, Elizabeth constructed the Butterfly's Diner, complete with awnings and umbrellas.
