FairyTaleTown! The Silver Standard?

So, apparently there is a movie about the populist movement of the 1890s. Sounds like a really dull premise for a movie, even if William Jennings Bryan is a pretty interesting historical figure.

Still, the characters are pretty funny looking!

Hey! What's this sign say? I can BUY a whole BRICK of the Yellow Brick Road?

Dad? I need to borrow your wallet for a minute. Just for a minute, ok?

FairyTaleTown! Snow Cones!

It was really hot out, so we got a snow cone!

Mmmmmmm! Red is a great flavor! I want more!

Yes! Green tastes great, too!

FairyTaleTown! Hula Dancer!

So, they have a stage where they do little shows! We heard that they were going to have hula dancers! Dad got all excited about it! Once the show got started, I could see why!

This lady was awesome! She reminded me of the swim class instructor that I didn't get back in Tempe. For some odd reason, dad seemed really disappointed with the show.


Afterward, I took over the stage! I figured that if it could hold up that dancer, I would be safe on it! At last, I have a whole stage all to myself!

FairyTaleTown! Piggies!

They have the Three Little Pigs!

Not fake pigs, or anything. These are the REAL Three Little Pigs!

Look at them!

Lazy things! I bet they just sit around on their butts, eating all day! What a bunch of pigs!




(Hey, Mr. Editor! What are you trying to imply, here?)

FairyTaleTown! Dangerous Bunnies?

Look at that! There are real bunnies in there, just like in my books!

What's that sign say? Oh, come on! I really don't think that bunnies are all that dangerous!

Uh, dad, I think I get why they put up that sign...

I ain't gettin' my fingers anywhere near THAT bunny's mouth!

FairyTaleTown! Sherwood Forest

Yesterday, we went to Fairy Tale Town! It was great fun! It has little areas for lots of different fairy tales and stories! Dad took tons of photos, so I'll blog them for the next few days.


Sherwood Forest was really beautiful!

This is my brave and dashing look! Like the forelock? With a mustache, I think I'd look just like Errol Flynn!:

Who wants to be the damsel in distress, when you can be the dashing hero?

This is my "Don't mess with me!" look! Scary, no?

The Sheriff of Nottingham can kiss my butt!

Who comes to invade my forest?

Ack! A giant ogre! Run! Run!

Call the merry men! To arms! (*meanwhile, I'm outta here...!*)

Simple pleasures

No matter how busy you are...

... always make time to stop and smell the flowers!

Nori

I just can't get enough of this tasty nori! Hook me up with some sushi!

Through the tube!

See that great tube behind me? That's my next conquest!

Peek-a-boo!

Hi there!

Almost out!

Yesssssssssssss!

Biggest slide in the world

At the park by the house is the biggest slide in the world! Way too high for a little kid like me. Or is it....?

Lemme see...

I shall scale this mountain, and I shall slide the slide!

I am not afraid!

Here goes nothing....

Bye..............!



I did it!

No slide is to big for me!

Managing our finances

Hey Dad. Stop bugging me! I'm busy working on these spreadsheets? Can you see?
[Dad]: But I'd swear a second ago, you had something much more colorful on the screen...

Oh, this? Well, I needed to take a quick break.

Have you seen this great website that lets you paint like Jackson Pollock? I think that I am much better than that girl from My Kid Could Paint That.

Just a bit more lavender over here...

Done! What do you think?

Ok, buzz off. Time for me to get back to work!

Have a seat!

I've been waiting and waiting and waiting for the table that Grandma Mim ordered for me to get here, and just when I was giving up hope (it had been DAYS!) the nice UPS man came with a huge box taller than me! I told Dad he had to open it up right away!

I right away jumped in to help him put it together! Here's the leg, Dad!

Here's the screw, Dad! You'll need the washers, too.

This screw goes in here, like this.

Ok, now you press the red button, right?

Yay!!

Cow!
Horse!

Yay! I love it so much I have to do the Happy Lela Dance!

This is the best!

First thing this morning, I ran right to it to have a good read!


Gotta keep up on current events.

Turns out that the dog is still under the fireman's hat!

He, he! Dad, did the Times come yet?

Ok, time to run and post this blog so that I can say THANK YOU GRANDMA MIM & GRANDPA DID! I just LOVE it!
Love,
Lela
