The non-profit that Ed works for, Young Audiences, had its annual Mad Hatter's Tea Party event on May 8th. Unfortunately, Ed had class and couldn't be there, but Elizabeth and I weren't going to miss it. She had just seen Disney's "Alice in Wonderland" a couple weeks earlier when Grandma had come down for the weekend, so to say that Elizabeth was excited to meet all the characters would be a bit of an understatement! We took the train into Midtown (another huge plus in her book), and spent the morning with the characters making crafts, watching some performances, dancing, and even making a tea cup completely out of candy. It really was a great event, and Elizabeth was a very happy girl!
(Video translation: At the beginning, she's jabbering on about Thomas the Tank Engine since we're waiting for the train; Mr. Eric is a musician who performed at the event--Elizabeth has one of his CDs and is a big fan; she also says we'll see the Mad Hatter, Alice, and the Cheshire Cat; at the end she says she's also excited to see "the blue worm" who will turn into a beautiful blue butterfly.)

Before we get any further, know that white sandals can make a girl's feet look big...now I'm not saying that YOUR feet look big in any of these photos...I'm just saying this as a matter of fashion policy. Minnie Mouse wears white shoes...note the effect the next time you look at a Mickey Mouse cartoon. Keep in mind that ALL of the characters in Alice in Wonderland are crazy...not just amusing but certifiable nut cases...that's why Johnny Depp did so well in the film. I like your dress...a bit of a Laura Ashley look. I think it's amazing that someone named Mr. Eric can sell CD's. I thought you had to have a name like The Black Hearted Head Bashing House Muffins in order to sell music and yes, I did make up that name...does have a nice ring to it don't you think? You'll meet a lot of Tweedledees and Tweedledumbs in your life...smile and move on...quickly!
