So much to do...so little time.

So we went on a trip...an exciting trip to see Dandy & Wil.

It was a very full trip full of things we'd never done before.

Ellenie LOVES to talk on the phone.

She had never sat in an airport terminal

with so many other people talking on their phone at the same time as her.

Lillianna's doll, Paris, had never flown on an airplane.

(Neither had Ellenie and neither had Lillianna as far as she could remember.)

I had never heard a pig talk before this encounter at the Kentucky State Fair.

This cow had never had her hair pulled into a ponytail before.

Ellenie had never seen a pig before

and this pig had never been offered a piece of gum before.

Lillianna & Ellenie had never met two animals that were more like them than these two geese.

They squawked and honked at each other just like they do.

My two little girls had been on a train before.

They LOVED it!

They had never been to Six Flags before...

or driven a Big Foot truck!

Lillianna had never been the only one on the entire carnival ride before... She wasn't so sure about it here but she loved it once it got going.

(the rest of us didn't meet the height requirements).

Whew! That's a lot of things we've never done before.

Oh wait! I'm not done.

In these few days we did more than we've done the past month...

like go to Chuck E Cheese and ride in the KenChuckE. Derby,

and flirt with 10 feet tall men,

and hug penguins,

and see amazing creatures at the Cincinnati Aquarium,

or ride on the backs of giant tree frogs,

or balance on them. (with a little help)

Lillianna and Dandy fed these little birdies cups of nectar.

I allowed these birdies to dispose of all the nectar they drank on my hair.

Drink up my little friend.

We certainly had never been this close to a Great White Shark before!

It was a great trip with so many great moments that will be treasured memories forever!

Thanks Dandy & Wil! We love you!
