Our Adventure with the Mad Hatter.....!?

As we were enjoying our tea with the mad hatter......

the Evil Queen of Hearts sent her card soldiers after us........

We were arrested and taken to the top of her majesty's tower.....the view was amazing!

(Why are you laughing? That's what really happened.....I think!?)

Small World

It's a Small World After All.....la la la la laaaa.

Riding on a boat down a river, we saw lots of countries portrayed with these dolls. Not sure where the mermaid is meant to come from!?

We were very surprised when a week before the half term Mommy and Daddy told us that we were going to Disney Land Paris! Immediately Ashlynn went on the internet and found out everything possible about the park. There were two parks at Disney - Disneyland and Disney Studios.

We had tickets for 5 days in the park and we stayed in a nice hotel - The New York Hotel.

Instead of having a Cinderella Castle, the Disneyland Paris park had a Sleeping Beauty Castle which was pink! It was beautiful!

The Juvenile Delinquents!

Daddy successfully hared three hashes, and they were all on the same day! Us kids did the juvenile delinquent trail, which finished with an amazing game of lazer tag - in a cave! It was really fun. We also enjoyed eating dinner in a cave as well.

EuroHash 2011

Only a few days after the annual Red Dress Run, Holland hosted the EuroHash in a castle/hostel. The venue was great, complete with 10 bars with free flowing beer (and soda) and massive fields for us to play on. Saturday night was party night! The theme - Zulu Warriors! Madly the band performed and I danced the whole night away!

A day full of Orange

When you're owned by a country that celebrates the Queen's birthday, you celebrate too. When you become an independent colony, why bother giving up the holiday? So we were lucky to spend Koniningdag in Curacao. Although not exactly what we were expecting, there was a whole lot of orange and lots of things to buy in the center of town.

Sands of the Caribbean

While on the motorbike, Daddy saw a great place near to our resort to go urbexing! Looking at it from the outside we thought it was a hotel that had never been completed, or that had been abandoned. When we got in however, there was a completely different story. We found out that the building had been used as the headquarters for an online internet casino!

Motorbiking!

While Mommy and I had been walking around in the center of town, Ashlynn and Daddy rented a motor bike and took a long ride to an ostrich farm. Ashlynn got bit by an ostrich as well as feeding them from her hand.

Dress Shopping...

While walking around Curacao I joked about trying to find a dress for the Bye Bye Blues (the end of year 9 disco) and we walked into multiple stores, but none of them had what we wanted. We finally saw a cocktail dress store and we went in. I found two dresses that I really liked.....here they are....
