Wedding in the park

Our experience tells us it's well nigh impossible to completely avoid the princess/fairy/bride phase if you're a parent of a little girl. So, here is Gwendolyn, in a photo from yesterday afternoon, dressed up as one should for an after school play session in the park:

What you can't see is the somewhat sheer floor length skirt (a dress up find courtesy of Grandma Ronaghan) and her friend's rather ridiculous blue plastic strappy sandals -- which, as you might expect, caused a couple of blisters to blossom on the sides of her feet. Daddy believes it was all part of something called "the marrying game" which was created in the school playground a number of months ago. 

Oh well -- we're just rolling with it. Thank goodness she loves her science as well!
