Welcome!

I saw this idea for making wooden dolls on Grace Lin's Pocket Pacy blog. I decided to make my own, because it looked fun. I am calling them passing dolls because if you are given one of my dolls I would like you to take them somewhere and then pass them on to someone else for another journey. If you are willing to share the journey on this blog, please take a picture of you and the doll on your trip and send it to passingdolls@gmail.com with a description and I will post it here on my blog. Thanks!

Hannah at Tonto Natural Bridge

Hannah is so exited to be visiting Tonto Natural Bridge.   The Tonto Natural Bridge is 183 feet tall.  It is thought to be the biggest natural travertine (a type of limestone, that now people make tile out of) bridges in the world.  Wow!  Hannah enjoyed looking at all the cracks, crevices and caves.  In 1877 between Pine and Payson, Arizona, David Gowin ended up at the bridge while being chased by Apaches.  David hid in the caves for 3 days and 2 nights.  After 3 days David explored the newly discovered valley and later claimed the squatters rights.  Today it is a state park.

We made it!
Hannah and her friends look at this unusual hotel before going to eat lunch there.  I hope she got to try some Egyptian food.
At M&M World, one of the M&Ms seems to take interest in Hannah.  Hannah thinks Ms. Brown is pretty.  I wonder if she picked up some mini M&M's before she went on her next adventure.

In London, Minnie sits in the phone booth and wonders if someone will call her.


Miranda browses the collection of camels and lamb skin lamps while exploring Morocco. Maybe she will purchase one.  Minnie loves the unique and abstract look of the lamps.

After a long day, Minnie thought Epcot was amazing!  Disney did a great job.

Minnie Miranda goes to Hollywood Studios

Take a look at Minnie Miranda is in front of the American Idol studio at Disney's Hollywood Studios.  She wishes she could have gone in to see all the talented singers live.  But she was too busy riding the Tower of Terror, and she missed it!



                                 
Minnie Miranda digs into a delicious pork shank... mmmmmmmmmmmm!

Minnie Miranda at the Magic Kingdom


Here she is as she walks into the Magic Kingdom.  She loves the balloons that the cast members sell there.  Her favorite one is the clear sphere with the purple Mickey Mouse balloon in it.  She bought one and almost got blown away when the wind came, since she is so small.

beautiful castle
In Frontier Land, in front of the shooting arcade, Minnie sees a sign for horses for auction.  She thought to herself, "I wish I could stay and get one."


Then she discovered pin trading!

Minnie Miranda dines at Be Our Guest

Be Our Guest Restaurant is a delicious experience.

Welcome to Be Our Guest
It was a beautiful restaurant.  It had a giant music box in the middle of the dining hall.


Minnie Miranda shared a turkey sandwich for lunch with her friends.  The food was almost as beautiful as the restaurant.


The theme of the restaurant is Disney's Beauty and the Beast.  It was decorated with statues and murals from Beauty and the Beast.  Minnie Miranda thought it was just like being in the movie, except that there were no actual candelabra servers.

Rainforest Cafe

After a long day at Universal Studios, Minnie eats dinner at Rainforest Cafe in Downtown Disney.  She eat some python pasta, and every twenty minutes the animals in the restaurant came alive as a thunderstorm blew through.

While Minnie waits for her reservation, see takes a look at this fat trumpeted fish.

Minnie likes the animals at the front of the restaurant.  She thinks they look friendly.  I hope she is right.

Minnie loves her tree frog crown that she got to wear during her meal.
