A Day Trip to Frederick County, MD

Saturday was a beautiful day in Maryland.  Not the usual hot, sticky humid weather we've been living with all summer. We drove up to Frederick, MD to do some photography and see the sites.  We began in the city, walking the Carroll Creek "riverwalk", visiting the old, historic neighborhoods, saw the church spires (steeples), did some shopping, ate lunch at "The Cellar," visited the National Civil War Museum of Medicine, and took a road trip to see three covered bridges.

Louisa was along for the ride, but I only got one photo of her!

The End of Summer

Danielle:  Hi, Heather and Louisa!  Haven't seen you in a while.  How was your summer?



Louisa:  It's been okay.  I'm kinda bored.  School will start soon, but I'm not sure if I'm looking forward to it or not.



Danielle:  I'm looking forward to it!  I love the projects we get to work on.



Heather:  I love art.



Louisa:  But recess is the best!

Playing with Play Wonder Clothes

Since I am not too fussy about fit when I can buy clothes for my dolls that are not expensive and not "supposed to" fit the doll that will be wearing the outfit, I decided to see if Target's Play Wonder outfits might fit my Kidz n Cats girls.  Since Gracie is already sporting a nice Spring outfit that she came in, Galina and Louisa volunteered to model the new outfits.

One of the problems with these outfits is that they do not come with shoes.  I have a bunch of Out Generation shoes that my AG dolls refuse to wear.  They are too big on the Kidz, too, but they are willing to use them until I am able to order some shoes that fit better.  That might happen more quickly if they stopped inviting their friends to live here!  Anyway, the shorts on Louisa fit well, but the capris on Galina were very big, so there's a safety pin rather than velcro fastening them in the back!  The tops are loose, but that makes them comfy and easier to play in.  Louisa just loves the hat, although it is a bit smooshed compared to the one in the photo that was in the hangtag!

I borrowed my husband's DSLR to take today's photos, so the girls felt like models!  Sadly, before venturing into the yard for photos, I thought I would try to get some from the front porch, and the wind blew Louisa over!  Poor girl got a few scratches - on her forehead, her nose and her cheek.  I was really sad and disappointed, but Louisa just looked at me and said "Guess you're stuck with me now!"  Ha, ha!  Little did she know, she already had my heart wrapped around her little finger.  I guess I'll just have to love her even more!
