June 27 and 28--Days 15 and 16

This was the day I'd been dreading. Ashlynn went to Build A Bear and came home with a new bear. This one is pretty neat though. She's got maple leaves printed all over her. She's actually very cute. Her name is Maple. You can't see it in this picture, but Ashlynn has Anna in her backpack sling. And of course Anna got lots of new clothes and shoes. She even got roller skates!

Even Angel got suckered into the BABW allure and came home with a moose. Jonathan (the guy helping Ashlynn stuff her bear) told her the moose was not available in the states and that they were retiring that design and that there were only three left. So Angel couldn't resist. He's ok I guess. We don't talk much. He's talks mostly to Monkey because I'm always out with the girls. His name is T. Horton. If you don't get it (his name), you're not Canadian enough. Email Angel and she'll explain it to you.

On Saturday we went to the Children's Museum in London. Ashlynn got to practice driving me around on a snowmobile. We don't have those down in S.C. She's not a bad driver!











I spent some time hanging out with the scarecrow in the farm section. Obviously we didn't do too well protecting the corn.

















Ashlynn was very proud of her ears of corn. The ears can be zipped up into the husk and velcroed (I just made a new verb!) to the stalk. She was having a great time putting it all together, and as soon as she would get them stuck to the stalk, some kids would walk by and start pulling them off. She finally got them up long enough for this picture.







The Snake Lady showed up with her three socially inept helpers and boxes of reptiles. She's about to show off a baby African Bullfrog. Ashlynn is making her way to the front of the table for a better view. She had all kids of turtles, snakes, frogs, millipedes, and lizards. Good thing that boy from the zoo wasn't here. He would not have made it out alive. Angel would have fed him to one of the reptiles.
