Popi and Gigi have been working hard on the castle for the grandgirls and grandboy when they all visit.  Kate and Ava, of course, visit often.  After all, they only live a couple of blocks away.  Finally, the big day came:  it was finished and ready for all sorts of characters to move into its welcoming sort-of walls.

Rapunzel awaits a tour of the castle while her lady-in-waiting tries out the swing.

The lady-in-waiting always goes first… unless Rapunzel throws a big, bawling fit.  Then the Queen, Gigi, must step in and tone down the impulsive pushiness of the bigger half of this pretend scenario.

Kate loves to pretend to be asleep.  Such a shame it’s always pretend.

Rapunzel is just so stinkin’ cute!!

You know, I may have the lady-in-waiting confused with the court jester.

Aw, yes she is the lady-in-waiting.  My only concern is waiting for what?!?!

Just as I suspected.  Our lady-in-waiting has ulterior motives!  And I’m fairly sure they involve knocking the fair Rapunzel off the bridge.  Run, fair maiden, run!!

A very unusual way to survey the kingdom for any threats to the tower.

The secret escape route in case of danger… which would more than likely come from the lady-in-waiting.

There never is a very ladylike, princessly way to fall off the bottom of the slide.  But coming to Rapunzel’s aid, proving that she is all her name sets forth that she is, is our valiant lady-in-waiting to help the poor little maiden to victory.

Or maybe she’s just showing off the dirty arm.

Anyway… on to Popi’s next project!!   A roof for the deck!
