My long-time high school friend Lis and I started a tradition with our daughters when they were little, and each spring we get all dressed up for a fancy girls' day out at the Grand America Hotel. Bailey looks forward to this all year, when she can go to "the Castle" with Lexi. She twirls through the halls and sits on the furniture, pretending it is her palace and she and Lexi are the princesses.
After a fabulous luncheon of fancy foods I can't pronounce, and the famous bread pudding (my mouth is watering just thinking about it), it's out to the gardens for a stroll. Lexi is pretending to fall into her fountain.
While we were visiting, our beautiful "princesses" found some snails in the garden that they made their pets and ended up coming home with them. So maybe they're not as girly as they pretend to be.
Meanwhile, the boys in our family were off with their friends doing what boys love to do.
Building paper rockets and launching them way up in the air.
Pretty soon the neighbors were showing up. It's true, if you build a rocket launcher, they will come.
