4. The Wildwood House in Nebraska City reminds me of a cozy forest home where magical characters live.

6. ...And there's probably a Big Bad Wolf hanging out somewhere on this trail through Wilderness Park.

7. It's reasonable to assume that these folks are elves or fairies getting ready to dance through the night.
