Kylie's Letters: A Day in the Park

Hello! It's Kylie, with my very first post. I lightly mentioned to Arizona that I might be posting...I hope it's alright! To be truthful, I'm nervous of Ivy, and that she'll be mad at me for posting on her blog. Oh well. :)

Anyway, I wanted to tell you about myself {don't worry, I'll still tell you about the park!}

I'm 10 years old, and I'm from Ethiopia. My name is Kylie Grace, and I'm an adopted sister. I love chocolate! I can't sing, {unlike Nahji} but I can play the piano. Sometimes, I try to take pictures with Mama's great big Nikon camera. It's huge and heavy! My sisters say I'm a 'people pleaser'. I guess that means I please people? I think writing is fun. I hope you all will be my friends!

Now to the story.

It was February the 4th. Mama took me and Ivy to Elliebob's house! It was very pretty there. I took a few seconds to run around the grass, and scramble up their tree. I'm proud to say none of the other dolls can keep up with me. Eventually though, Mama made me go inside. Elliebob's house had the shiniest smoothest wood floors I had ever seen! It was all I could do not to just sliiiiiiiide across that floor.
Then, Mama and Elliebob took me into Elliebob's bedroom. Sitting to the side was this beautiful tanned Mexican girl. She had the prettiest hair I'd ever seen.
"Hi, I'm Kylie," I said.
"Hello," She said. "I'm Consuelo."
"How long have you been here?"
"Since before Christmas! How about you?"
"I just got here Christmas day!"

Well, needless to say, we became good friends in a matter of minutes. Consuelo and I were interrupted suddenly when Elliebob suggested, "Let's go to the park!"

Elliebob's mom was kind enough to give all of us a ride to the nearest park.

It was exciting riding in the car! Here we are, looking out the window.

 The grass was a bit dry and prickly. Since it's winter, a lot of the grass is dead.

 Consuelo was thrilled to be out in the open. I love her gentle sweet nature.

 My hair is so unruly! You wouldn't believe how hard it is to put in a ponytail. Consuelo insisted it was really cute. She enjoyed bouncing my curls around. I laughed. "Try brushing it!" I teased.

 Just look at this interesting tree! One of the good things of being a doll is being able to see the littler things. We can really appreciate everything. After my dark, bumpy, scary UPS trip here, anything is great! Mama told me that Consuelo and I were bought and shipped at the same time. She even told me that we were next to each other the whole time! Too bad we couldn't talk. It would've been impossible to speak through all that cardboard and plastic.

 Consuelo gave me a boost, and I shimmied up that old tree. Doesn't it look amazing? Kind of spooky though. A great "dolloween" tree!

Consuelo showed me her favorite path. It was nice and clean and neat. Okay, maybe not 'clean' to you Americans. :) But in Africa, the paths are nothing but little lanes where there are no weeds. It's so dusty, hot and dry!

 We talked as we walked. Before this, I'd never taken a long walk with a friend. It was quite a new experience for me!

 Here we are!

 Consuelo then went back on the grass. I stayed on the path.

 Woah, look at this tree! Isn't it huge? It was pretty darn awesome.

 I love this picture of myself, if I do say so. It looks like a real photographer did it! Sorry Mama, not to say that you're not a real  photographer. :)

 But, there were more places to explore. Mama had to pull me away! I waved goodbye to my tree.

 Then, I found this leaf. Truly, this is the biggest leaf I have ever seen. Seriously.

 "Look, Mama!" I called. She walked up. "I found a giant leaf!" To Mama, it wasn't very big. But she praised me on my find.

 Towards the end of our walk, we found unusual picnic benches! I would never be able to eat at this table. It's huge!

 On our way back, I showed Consuelo a good spot for a campout. It was nice, dry, and shady underneath those branches. That's what I call instant shelter.

 They were branches from coniferous {something along those lines anyway} trees, as you can see from this picture.

 There was another branch not too far away. I sat on it. Well, I can't say it was a comfortable seat! Yeah...

 Can you spot us? You may have to click on the picture to enlarge it. :)

 Oops! After the above picture was taken, I fell down! I think I tripped on a dirt clump.

 Mama came and helped me up. :D

When we went home, we got to eat pizza and breadsticks! Yum! We never eat pizza. Here at Spicemuffin's home, we are all on diet. We usually only eat Challah bread, other than that, no wheat, grains, occasional potatoes, no rice, and nothing with a lot of sugar in it. 

Well, enough about me. That was my day in the park! Hope you have a fun time today. :)

Spoiler: I can't keep a secret. We might be having a giveaway this month.
