Children's Hospital Fundraising Kick-Off

Wow, we packed a lot in during our short visit to Louisville, KY. I only wish we had more time to see the sights and hang out with all the wonderful people we met.

Okay, so last blog had us dining with Hillbillies and talking about writing to high school students. Well, we also were honored to be the guest speaker at the Kosair Children's Hospital American Girl Fashion Show fundraiser kick-off!

Peepy did some exploring and came up with a kayak and a pile of mattresses that she said was from The Princess and The Pea . . .
