Colliwood
Last Sunday Em and I went to the premiere of Charlotte's Web. I adored the book when I was little but wasn't a fan of the animated movie...but the new film version was great. Julia Roberts did a great job as the voice of Charlotte, too.
Little Dakota Fanning turned up...with a tiny pig on a leash...the "after party" was at the Collingwood Children's Farm, which they'd done up to look like a New England Country Fair complete with rides, pumpkins, lemonade stands etc. I'll admit it...I took my camera and couldn't help but snap a few shots of Dakota. Mr and Mrs Fanning looked very Hollywood and it was all slightly surreal but there were hundreds of kids who looked like they were having the time of their lives...and yes, we had fun, too!

Get OUTTA here!!! How cool. I love the Collingwood children's farm, used to live around the corner.
How cool to go the the after party. I went to a wedding at the farm.
Wow! Double wow! I thought for a minute that you'd transported yourself somewhere!
I too love love loved Charlotte's Web as a child - one of the first 'big girl books' I ever owned.
I will have to take Romily to see it...
