Hey Everyone,
First before anything else- I have some exciting news!  Our camp session has been extended!  We will be staying here through next Sunday now. :)   I am so glad we are allowed to have cell phones because I can call my parents and not only tell them (the camp has already told all the parents they could come pick everyone up, or let kids stay) myself, but talk to them.  A week without talking to parents is a long time!

Now for today's post:
Today we went on a Nature Hike in the Pine Mountains. :-)  It was a great day except that it started to rain at the very end. :(  Thankfully we were already at the car, I don't know what we would have done if it had come any earlier!

Jess was nice enough to take some photos of Rachel and me. :)  Here they are. 

Rachel and me hiking... sorry you can't really see me!

Rachel and me sitting on some rocks... it started to rain soon after this photo was taken. :)

I hope you have a great day.

Hey Everyone,

Today for camp, we went to the Pine County Fair. :)  It was so cool to be able to see other dolls, that people collect. :)  They are  I think the breakable kind though...  We also had breakfast there, as well as check out the 2 barns with goats, cows, bunny rabbits, and chickens.  It was so cool to be able to see those things since Kanani, Jess and I are all in 4H!  We do sewing.  It is so much fun. :0

There were probably like 12 bunny rabbits, and 24 chickens.  There was even a hen and her 4 babies.  It was too cute.  Thankfully, I was lucky enough to be able to get some photos the rabbits, and some of the other exhibits, as well as the hen and her 4 chicks. :)  (It reminded me of Liz, and Kit's Baby Chick Farm tour in 2009.)

Below are some of the photos I took.  Tomorrow Jess is posting about our nature hike!  I think Kanani is posting her pictures from the Pine County Fair. :)... they are mostly chickens and rabbits, and a few tractors (don't ask me why she took photos of tractors!).

I hope you enjoy the photos,
!!Rachel!!

Dolls' like Lily's. :)

Soft Monkeys (from the olden days!)

a cute cat picture... this is from 4H

Jilly the cow (for Jilbert Dairy... a local dairy company)

Saxophone... like the one Lily plays!

Fuzzy bunnies. :) so adorable!

Hey Everyone,
Sorry for the lack of posting. :-)  It was Rachel's turn to post yesterday but she wasn't feeling too well, poor thing. :( 


Hopefully we can do a good job at posting photos frequently (like Lily is trying to) ;0.

Above is a photo of us with our findings. We came in 2nd!  You can't always be first is what Kanani said.  She's right ;0  Below- is a photo of just the items we gathered.

We had to find a fern leave (found by Rachel), a rock (also found by Rachel), a purple flower (found by Kanani), a yellow flower (found by me- Jess), and a maple leave (found by Kanani).  I am so happy that we won 2nd place, and best of all, had fun. ;)

We only have one more day of camp.  We are all going to Pine Lake County Fair. ;0  I can't wait. :)  We will be sure to post some photos. :)
Jess. :)

Hey Everyone. :) Since it was another rainy day for the dolls, us dolls in Ohio, thought we should let you know what is going on here (in Ohio)!

WE all have different stories. It was very hard for us to pick who's version we would use, but everyone agreed that I could post first. :)  So here is basically the story (or should I say Kit's version?)!

Ok- we miss the campers a lot, and wish they were home.  But we have found some things to keep ourselves occupied. :)  This includes watching tv, playing on the computer, playing outside, biking around, having tea parties  and watching squirrels climb trees!  We basically have been trying to make everyone happy every day... even though that is pretty difficult since we are from over 240 years. :0 

Every day we go check to see if there is any mail for us, and so far the sad answer is no. :(  We also secretly watch our neighbors too. :0- just think they probably wouldn't do half of what they do if they knew we were around! haha. :)

Ok- well be sure to comment so I can tell everyone what you have to say!

Have a great day,
~Kit Kitteredge- 1934

Hey Everyone,

Unfortunately today, we had a very rainy day at camp. :(  We had creative writing (blah!), but that was about all we did besides have fun in our cabins.  

WE were suppose to have great weather tomorrow, but now it looks like it might rain tomorrow, or overnight.  If we get enough rain it could potentially cancel our nature hike.  I hope it doesn't rain.  Maybe one of these days we will have a perfect day!  A girl can dream right? :0 (Melissa Buckles)



I don't know who will be posting tomorrow, but hopefully we can have something real to say and some photos!  Sorry for the lousy update today. :0

Have a  good day,
!!Rachel!!

PS:  Lily posted today on the main page, and will be posting tomorrow on her blog.  I believe there will even be a video!! :)

Hi Everyone,

I hope you didn't all go by the book I told you we used today... that is the wrong book!  Here is a photo of the book that we really used (and this time I am not joking or lying! haha). 

This is a great book... the but loop closure is a little tricky!  Lily is posting a video on Wednesday to help everyone make this work a little easier!

I hope nobody is mad at Jess!  Really- she is great, we just took a photo of each book and she just accidently posted the wrong one!

Have a great day

!! Rachel!!

Hi Everyone,

I am so happy that Lily set this up. :)  This will be so much fun. :)  I can't wait to hear some of your feed back. :)  Hopefully soon, we can get everyone to post... that would be at least 24 categories... just with the 21 American Girl Dolls... Lily has at least 10 more that would need to post too. :)

Today, we had a tour of the camp, and met all of the campers, there were 100 campers all different age ranges.  Some were 5 and some were almost 18!  That would be so exciting to be that old. :) 

Today's main activity was jewelry making.  It was a lot of fun.  The necklace we made looks really nice on Kanani... and a similar bracelet looks great on me (according to Rachel).   I will show some photos in a slide show of the book we made them out of and some photos of a necklace just with ribbon on Kanani, and a bracelet on me. :)  You can click on the photos on the side to see them... you don't have to wait for them to appear big. :) 
I have another photo of Rachel, I just have to find it... I will post it when I do. :)

Have a great day, Jess

PS:  There is a video coming soon on Lily's page I think about the 2 loops... that's why I mentioned it... the Button Loop Clasp is hard because sometimes the wire broke. :(  So we used another clasp demonstrated in the new video coming soon. ;)

Hey Everyone,
It's Kanani here- to tell you all about our new blog, and arriving at camp. :)  As most of you know I am the Girl of the Year 2011.  Lily's grandma got me for Lily's Christmas and Birthday gift (Christmas of 2010, Birthday 2011).  Lily also got some of my outfits and paddle board. 

I am so happy to be able to tell you about arriving at camp.  I even have a photo of our big dorm room... it's so big. ;)  For this week, someone will post everyday.  After that, this will just be a blog, and dolls will post when they feel like it. :)  You can find posts by a certain doll by just clicking on their name.  This will bring up all of the posts by that doll, and that doll only. :)

  If you have questions email us at [email protected].  Make sure "For the Dolls", or "For _________" (fill in the dolls' name) is in the subject, you can also add other things too, but make sure that is in the subject so Lily will show it to us!  You can also follow us at http://twitter.com/agpixplace_doll.  We can't promise we will be able to follow you back (we have to ask Lily for that sort of stuff), but you are welcome to follow us.

Rachel and Jess will be posting later this week too.  This week from my understanding, we are swimming, horse back riding, writing creatively, and much much more. :) 

I can't wait until it is my turn to post again, until then enjoy!

Kanani ;)

PS: You can make Lily happy by continuing to send in your suggestions, just comment on her latest post, or Ideas for Lily. 

Hey Everyone, 

This is Rachel.  I was Lily's first American Girl doll (probably something she doesn't make a big deal of...). I am also a "American Girl of Today" (that's what MyAmericanGirl dolls were called back in the 90s when I was purchased).  I was given to Lily for Christmas of 2001... and I am not sure how she decided to name me Rachel! 

From the late 1990s, until Lily's mom thought Lily was old enough to get me, I was kept in the box I came in... However, I am a doll person which means I really am alive, but I just have to stay still while the humans are around.  :)  You can get the book "Doll People" which is really good, and although many humans don't believe it, is a true story- at Amazon (link is above on "doll person").  At night, I hung out with some of Lily's baby dolls including her bitty baby Lily, and some of her mom's dolls. ;)

The first post about us and our lives now by Kanani will be tomorrow (Sunday July 24th).  She will introduce  this blog, and also tell about arriving at camp!  I am so excited to get this off the road!

Have a great day,
Rachel! :)
