Stay Tuned for Part 2,

Eureka, CA to Portland, OR!

Outfits for Kendall and Willa

As you may know, we recently added Kendall to our 

doll family.  I was looking for more outfits for 

these two and found the "Glitter Girl Doll" 

outfits, at Target. These outfits fit them very well.

Adding Kendall

I found this swimsuit set first.  I wanted the girls to 

be able to swim this summer, cause boy it is hot!

Then I saw this Travel set.  It had a second swimsuit 

as well as PJs, dress and accessories.

Lastly I found this Sparkle Fashion outfit, but I 

accidentally ordered two sets!

Willa in the Travel Dress.

Kendall in the PJs

Sparkle outfits.

I love the little Gummy shoes.

Both Girls: Can we swim now?!?

Ok OK!!

YAY! Our pool is filling up!

Look at us!  Look at us!!

Wait!  Take off your hairbands.

Float on your back!

Willa: Take my picture!

Kendall: Take my picture too!!

WOO HOO!!

We love swimming!!
