Fractured Fairy Tale

Last week, one of my friends came and visited. She brought Sophie a new fairy tale book that includes several popular fairy tales. Sophie has enjoyed hearing the story of Cinderella recently and watching the movie. So, one day as my mom is driving down the road with Sophie my mom asks her about her book. She asks Sophie if there's a queen in the book. Sophie says, "yes, she's mean. The fairy godmother is too." My mom says, "she is? Why is she mean? I thought she was nice." Sophie says, "No, she's mean. She tore the girl's clothes all up and turned the dog into a couch." Obviously Sophie was a little confused. I think she meant a coach. Ha, ha, ha!

Run for the Border!

Sophie & I made it in to Raleigh just fine on Thursday. Friday, we headed to Myrtle Beach. It wasn't long before Sophie noticed the South of the Border billboards and begged us to stop (ha, ha). There can't be a cheesier place on the planet than South of the Border (can we say TACKY). S.O.T.B. is probably past its heyday as several attractions were closed including Pedroland Park. Sophie was very disappointed that she did not get to ride the Wild Sombrero ride. However, there were plenty of animal statues that Sophie wanted to "ride."

We also rode the elevator to the top of the Giant Sombrero Tower. At the top, there is overwhelming view of the interstate highway and farmlands. After visiting the tower, we we very exhausted from our long day at S.O.T.B., and we drove on to Myrtle Beach for our vacation.

Picture time

We took Sophie to Portrait Innovations last weekend to have some 2 year pictures made. She was easier to handle this time than the last time. I couldn't believe the difference when I compared her pictures from this year and last year. She has changed so much and grown up!
