Pansy Basket

Have you ever been to Cantigny Park in Wheaton, Illinois?  Once owned by Colonel R. McCormick of the Chicago Tribune, it is now a stunningly beautiful location for weddings or to tour the First Division Museum where tanks are displayed.  Truly a spot for male and female alike.  A must see for anyone in the Western Chicago area.

At only 4 years old she had drawn her own fairy house that looked great. Another young lady in third grade,whose name I have no idea how to spell, drew a fairy castle, trees, and even a lot of fairies.

You may also print and color the above pages if this is for personal use. If
