One last impulsive visit to Disneyland.
We spent an evening at Disneyland, and found out something nifty. If she stands just right, Abby is 40 inches tall. |
|
|
|
Measuring.
But she has to work at stretching tall to make it to 40 inches. It takes a little help. |
|
|
|
The big pay-off for all that work.
|
|
|
|
Abby grin.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Yup, she likes it.
