Princess dress

Alley wore her princess dress all day to one of the parks and it was HOT. What a trooper.

The girls were a little scared of the princesses.

Alley and Piglet

Jail

Finially they added the perfect attraction to Disney, a jail.

Alley and dad in Italy

Claire took this picture, I think it is my favorite of the trip.

Who let the dogs out

Alley and her cousins with Pluto and goofy. Alley thinks the song Who let the dogs out is very funny and sings it often.

Swimming pool

Despite being at Disney world the girls thought the pool was the best part of the trip.

Mr Little Guy

Is the name of the Elf who lives at Lake Harriet in the base of a tree w a little door. The girls wrote letters to him and he kindly wrote them back.

Not such a good weekend

This picture is from last weekend - which was a good one. The girls came with us to a wedding. They loved seeing a real princess and wondered if her husband was a king?

This weekend however is not so good for Alley. She has had a fever and headache all day Saturday and still has a low grade fever this morning. There was a GI bug apparently at her school and all of us were feeling some effects of that- but Alley got it the worst. She vomited yesterday and just watched cartoons all day.

Maybe she has a headache from thinking too hard. This past week she asked if it is possible to wash my car- like we wash dad's car? I asked why and she said because your car is electric and you can't get electricity wet.
