A Morales Minute

Lindsey has been dying to go see Mt. St. Helens. In her words, we "finally" got to see it. Yesterday bright and early we left for the long day of driving and touring the "blast zone." All the kids had a great time walking and running around outside, seeing the exhibits and videos and gift shops. Lindsey just soaked up all the info she could about the volcano. Even Aidan got into it. He kept pointing out the mountain and saying mountain. He liked trying to say and remember Mt. St. Helens. We couldn't have gone on a better day. It was so warm and clear. Mt.

It's the first one over on the westside. The rest are on the east side of the country. I love dolls and I love the American Girl dolls. It was amazing in the store! I went two times. It felt so magical. Everywhere we went, walking the mall, restaurants, even our hotel during breakfast, I saw girls carrying their dolls around. It made me miss my girls and want to take them so bad so see it all. Here I am with a posterboard child of the American Girl Doll of the year, Kanani I would buy this doll if I was a kid.:) She's beautiful. We are off to a friend's wedding. It was a great weekend.
