Hanging out at the pool! - a photostory

It was a lovely warm day. The dolls were all enjoying themselves by their new pool.

Sophie, Sadie and Kit were playing in the pool...

Rosie was sleeping...

Molly was reading a fashion magazine and drinking soda...

Finally, Gracie was playing with Meatloaf.

The girls had even set up a little snack area. There was a little counter with drinks on it and two coolers filled with ice cream and popsicles.

"I'm going to go get a snack," Sophie said, climbing out of the pool.

"Yum...so many treats!"

"Mmm..lime is my favorite flavor!" Sophie said, chomping down on her popsicle.

Kit and Sadie quietly sat in the pool, each deep in thought.

"Hey, Kit! I have an idea," Sadie said suddenly.

 She leaned over to whisper her idea in Kit's ear.

 "Are you actually gonna do that?" exclaimed Kit.

 "Shh, we can't let her hear!" answered Sadie.

"I'll be right back," Molly told everyone. "I have to go to the bathroom."

 "Now's my chance!" whispered Sadie.

 She said casually, "Uh, hey, Molly, you have a mosquito on your leg. I'm just gonna swat it off for you real quick..."

Swiftly, Sadie grabbed Molly's leg and yanked her into the pool.

"Eeehhh!"Molly shreiked as she fell.

"Arg! You...you..." Molly sputtered, glaring at Sadie.

"Sorry!"  Sadie said, erupting into laughter. Kit joined in, which only made Molly angrier.

"Ugh!" she cried.

"Hehe...sorry..Molly!" Kit giggled.

"I'm getting out of here...I have to go to the bathroom..."  Molly mumbled, climbing out of the pool.

"My sunglasses fell in the pool, can one of you guys please get them for me?" she asked.

"I will!" Kit dove down to the bottom of the pool and grabbed them.

"Here you go!" she said, handing them to Molly.

Meanwhile, Rosie's sleep was interrupted by Meatloaf climbing onto her and barking.

"Woof! Woof!"

"Ahh! Get off my face!" Rosie exclaimed.

"Woof. Sorry," Meatloaf said.

 Then he wandered away.

 "Did he just..."

"Hmm...I must have been dreaming."

 "I'm back!" sang Molly, obviously in a better mood than earlier.

Sophie jumped into the pool, splashing everyone in the process.

"So, do you guys wanna play catch?" Sophie asked,  picking up the beach ball.

 Before anyone could answer her, Gracie jumped into the pool.

 Next came Rosie, shouting, " Cowabunga!"

"It's getting a little crowded in here, don't you think?" Kit said.

 "Yeah, do any of you guys wanna get out with me?" Sophie replied.
Kit and Sadie agreed.

In the yard, the three girls tried doing gymnastics. Unfortunately, none of them were that good at it. Kit failed at the splits.

 Sadie sadly attempted a somersault.

 And nobody even knew what Sophie was doing...or trying to do.

"You guys need a gymnastics lesson," Molly said, who was a gymnast.

She removed her sunglasses and slid into the splits gracefully.

"Wow! Can you do a handstand?" inquired Kit.

Molly snickered. "Of course I can do a handstand."

She pressed her hands into the ground and kicked her 

Legs so they were perfectly straight.

Still balancing, Molly did the splits in mid-air...

...and cartwheeled into a standing position.

"So! What's next?" Molly asked proudly.

Bored with gymnastics, the other girls decided they wanted to do a wheelbarrow race. Reluctantly Molly joined in.

Rosie and Gracie watched from the pool and cheered the other girls on.

And so the girls played and played until the sun went down.

The end!
