A day on the beach
Brittney is my personal "baby" that I made in 2008, sold on eBay and recently bought back from my customer.
I also created Stella as a custom order for one of my best friends and greatest customer.

It's a beautiful and warm day on the Oregon Coast Beach at Seaside,
a perfect day to take the babies out to play.
The girls thought these paper geese were a great place to stop and play for a bit.
The funny thing is, I thought these birds were real from a distance, right up until we arrived at the 13 birds stuck on sticks in the sand. I really had to laugh at myself and NOW know how people feel when they find out that our dolls are not real! LOL
"Hewwo goose!"
"Stella, tan I pway wif your bucket??"
(I am PRETTY sure that Stella said "NO!")
"Mama! Bwittney won't weave me awone!"
Mama takes Stella gently into her lap and holds her as she talks to the couple who delighted the crowds by sharing their paper geese.
The water looks so enticing so Brittney and I decide to get our toes wet.
She really enjoyed it!
Now being closer to the damp sand, Brittney decides to build a sand castle...this time using her OWN bucket set.
"Dis is fun!!"
What a beautiful shore line and background!
Stella digs a hole in the sand...
and Brittney wants to try it out....
AND take all the toys!
The girls have been in the sun a long time so I decide to put up the sun umbrella.
Hahahaha...one let OUT of the hole!
Stella starts to bury Brittney in the hole she dug...
"Dare, dat will teach you to take all da toys, Bwittney!"
We decide that it is time stop this play before it gets out of hand. So we clean up the toys, put the babies back in their strollers and head toward the hotel. Of course, we talk with many people along the way (If you are ever going to be taking dolls out in public, make sure you have a LOT of time to chat with people as they will want to know "what's this all about???").
We talk to a lovely couple who's "baby" was this little schnauzer named Truman.
It is quite common for children and animals to want to touch and kiss the "babies" and Truman gave his share of kisses to Stella. (Who was comforted after the emotional ride of Brittney taking all the toys!)
Brittney began to look very sleepy and hungry so we headed for dinner..
and arrived back to our hotel room in time to watch the sunset.
After all that sand play, Brittney needed a bath! The kitchen sink was just the right size for her bath.
Brittney and Stella both fell asleep very quickly.
The beach is one place to wear children out!
