Sorry if there are some repeat pictures from other threads. I hadn't actually planned the photostory when I was taking the pictures, but it worked out pretty well.
Dani: Well, we’re out here now. Didn’t you want to go to the yard?
Astrid: Uh huh…but…it rained earlier so it’ll be all muddy right?
Dani: …yeah…but much to Famed’s dismay, you love getting dirty.
Astrid:…
Dani: Are you afraid?
Astrid: …there are those big scary things out there.
Dani: The alley cats? They’re actually pretty friendly. Are you going to let those big balls of purring, slightly skitish fur stop you from enjoying the mud?
Astrid: ...
Dani: Would you be scared if Taavi was here?
Astrid: No.
Dani: Then we'll make sure he comes out with us next time.
Dani: How about we just enjoy the view?
Astrid: Dani?
Dani: Yeah?
Astrid: Can you tell me a story?
Dani: Okay...once upon a time, there was this pretty little elf girl named Astrid...
Astrid: That's my name!
Dani: Really? What a coincidence...
And as a bonus, after I brought the girls inside I plopted them down on my work desk, and this is the pose they took:
Thanks for looking!
