Humpty Dumpy

Anyone who was ever a kid in Rhode Island has fallen into the clutches of one of the most evil looking characters on the block. It is the menacing face of a Humpty Dumpty statue that sits atop a wall when you enter the collapsed compound known as Enchanted Forest.

Although Hump has gone through many coats of paint in his time on the perch, something in his eyes remains inherently evil. It is a defining moment for any child when they realize fairy tales are not all they are cracked up to be.

On the grounds are several Mother Goose based areas. An old woman's shoe serves as a slide. Little Miss Muffit's spider is a jungle gym piece made out of an old oil barrel. Smaller decaying dioramas mark your way through the forest. All are in pretty shabby shape and no bargain to see at a $12 entrance fee.

At one point I considered getting married at the Enchanted Forest. I just wanted to say I had a story book wedding. However, the owners would do little to accommodate my party besides offer to have some pizza catered in. I ended up having a clam bake in Newport. I also ended up divorced. I blame the bad egg.
