Kealoha's Goodbye!

Okay, so now it's time for me to head to my next host's home. I've had lots of fun in Tennessee. Here are a few more pictures of some of the things I did here.

I got to visit the Sunsphere. It's a 266-ft tall structure that was built for the 1982 World's Fair that was held in Knoxville,  One of the exhibits at that World's Fair was the introduction of the Rubik's Cube at the Hungarian Pavilion.  I got to see it as it's still on display at the World's Fair Park. It's six-foot square!

I even got to buy a small, my sized Rubik's Cube to take home with me.

Oh, and I got to play with the mini-girls' house too.

It's so sweet and the mini-girls love their new home.I'm going to miss it here at AGR,
but I'm very excited to be continuing my travels.

  Goodbye new friends in Tennessee!
Love, Kealoha

Kealoha sees the Kit movie!

I got to go to see the Kit Movie with Kit herself (and Grace!)

We had a wonderful time and the movie was FABULOUS!

Love, Kealoha

Kealoha has some fun!

Yesterday was middle-brother's birthday and I got to go with AGR's family to Pigeon Forge, Tennessee where they stayed at this hotel with it's own waterpark! It was lots of fun!

Then we went to NASCAR Speedpark where you get to race go-karts and do lots of other thrill rides all day long.

Here is me with a real NASCAR.
You don't get to drive this kind at the Speedpark though.

The boys drove this kind of 'car' all day long.  

We stayed 9 hours! I was very tired when we got home, but I had lots of fun! Love, Kealoha

Kealoha rides!

I got to play outside today with the big boys who live here and try some of the things that they like to do.  First I got to ride on the dirt bike!  

Then I tried the go-kart.

 

And after all that excitement, some of the girls and I
played in the REAL tree house for a while.  

 

That's Kit, me, Charis and Kaya. What fun we had today!
Love, Kealoha

Kealoha goes on a trip!

Just as soon as I got to Tennessee, AGR and family went on a trip to Indiana! As every good trip should begin, we started with Krispy Kreme:  

After a bit of a drive in Tennessee we arrive in Kentucky:  

 



After a few hours in Kentucky, we finally arrived in Indiana!    

There are lots of things to see in Indiana, but mainly we saw this:  

We went to Indianapolis and got to spend some time at the world famous Indianapolis Motor Speedway:    

And of course while we were up north we had to have some White Castles.  

I had a fun road trip, but I'm glad to be back in Tennessee where I can get to know this state better!


Love, Kealoha

Kealoha's First Day

I arrived at AmericanGirlRescue yesterday and was so excited to finally see the Girls' House in real life! It's very grand. The 26 other girls who already live here welcomed me warmly.

Look at this girl who lives at AGR. Doesn't she look like me?  

 That's Lily Flower on the left and me on the right. We could be twins!

I was very tired after my journey from Colorado, so the girls let me sleep in their brand new AG bed from the Wyndham Hotel in Chicago! It's very comfortable (although VERY pink!)

I think I'm going to have fun here in Tennessee!

Love, Kealoha 

Kealoha

We have a new visitor here with us at AmericanGirlRescue. Traveling Kealoha (GT#4) is originally from Oklahoma. You can read about where she's been so far on her blog: Kealoha's Adventures.

Maggie Scout

We got a 2001 Kirsten from an AGPlaythings member. She was in pretty rough shape and you can read about that in this post. We got her this week from a neighboring town right here in Tennessee.

Her former home called her Scout. We call her Maggie. So meet Maggie Scout!

Maggie's Makeover

Maggie showed up here as a very mis-handled 2001 Kirsten. Well, she wasn't as messy as she started out when she was first posted on eBay. A different PT member bought her from an eBay seller and tried to get the ink and highlighter off of her. She did a pretty good job, but then decided that she just didn't fit into her collection. That PT member called her "Scout".

We purchased Scout and when she got here, we took her completely apart. I washed her torso and her fluff and laid them out in the sun to dry. I covered the parts on her limbs and face where ink still remained with oxy-10 and laid those out in the sun as well because heat is supposed to help the oxy-10 soak into the vinyl to fade the ink.

Her hair was in great shape already. Just a bit smokey smelling.

 


I re-strung her limbs, re-stuffed her and fixed her hair. She looks (and smells) so much better!

Our sweet Maggie Scout (a modern girl) feels so much better!

More things for Kaya!

Our sweet Kaya has gotten some new things for her collection. We got her the Tepee; her horse, Steps-High; and her foal, Sparks Flying. Now all we are missing for Kaya's collection is her Jingle Dress (which is retired and very hard to come by!)

UPDATE 8/2008: We have the Jingle Dress! Now we have her complete collection!

Yay for Kaya!
