Lovely retro diner!

Didn't Baba have a toaster like that one?

Yum - chicken noodle soup!

Dance time - with Minnie!

And Goofy.  AK wouldn't go up to them and preferred to dance with just me instead. 


Time for an ice pop!

Summer holidays - Bippity Boppity Boutique

The highlight of the trip for AK was her visit to the Bippity Boppity Boutique.  We do need to thank Uncle Chris, Aunty Kathy, Rylan and Cade, as well as Mommy's friend Tammy for contributing towards this fantastical birthday surprise! 


We found it - after walking around the Cinderella Caste in the pouring rain! 

We were ushered into the dressing room immediately for a costume change!

AK had been lusting over this dress all week...  so happy that she held out until the makeover to get it! 

All done up!

First peek in the mirror :)

Getting the pampering started!

More hairspray and hair gel was applied to AK's hair in one sitting than in her whole life up to this point!

Working on that high ponytail!

Ta da!

Primping from every direction!

Making sure that tiara is perfectly centered...

The last few bobby pins

Almost done!

Just need some sparkles... 

Eyes closed for the great reveal!

Loving it!

Look at me!

Sooo beautiful!

Had to protect that hair from the rain...  looking like a baba!

There was a lot of self-admiration and posing in front of the mirror for days to come.

Posing

Beautiful!
Let me tell you, that hairdo lasted for a few days and it is tough to get AK out of that dress even now, a month and a half later!  Lucky girl...  I'm so glad we were able to share such a magical experience with her!
