Guess Where I'm Going - Retro Diner!

Did you guess where the dolls were going? They are going to....

A Retro Diner!

Wait, could it be? The Seaside Diner has opened in my town? Oh, it's another cute diner called Highway 55! Let's go inside!

Here are the Maryellens! Don't they look cute? :)

Time to order!

Ooh, yum! 

"Yay, my food is here!"

Here's my (American Girl Doll Crafter) food! It came in a 50's truck with a strawberry milkshake.

When the dolls were done, it was time to explore the diner.

"Elvis!" 

"I love retro posters! Don't you, Maryellen?"

"Yes!"

"One of my favorite 50's show is I Love Lucy! What's yours?"

Here are some photos of the decorations in Highway 55.

I love all of the posters! :)

Who doesn't know about Elvis, the king of Rock 'n Roll? I don't listen to Elvis, but my Grandma loves him... :P. There were about 5 giant Elvis posters in Hwy 55.

This is the menu. It's so cute! 

Look! This looks exactly like Maryellen's booth at her Seaside Diner! I had a photo of a blue booth, but I don't know what happened to it.... Sorry!

Hwy 55 also has cute chairs and checker floors! 

This is the pattern on the counter. It looks like the pattern on the table in Maryellen's Living Room Set!

The dolls had so much fun and we did too!

Guess Where I'm Going!

Hi everyone! Today, the Maryellens are going somewhere with us and you have to guess where that somewhere is! Are you ready? Here's a hint.

This hint is from a 50's song on Maryellen's TV Console App.

"Sit down at the counter,

And you turn yourself around.

Wave to your friends, right and left,

And you drink that cola down. Do the ________ !

Do the _______ !"

Did that help you? I bet it did! :D

So, where is Maryellen going? Tell us in the comments!

The Perfect Party - Part 2

"Let's have a... Retro Party! It will be fun. We can dance to 50's music and eat 50's food! What do you think, everyone?"

"Grace, you're amazing! I think a retro party would be great!", exclaimed Maryellen. Then all the dolls started working on the party.

First, I hung up a sheet for Maryellen. "Thanks Mom! It's perfect!".

Grace began to arrange the food...

While McKenna set up the game table.

Kit and Ruthie were in charge of the decorations. Things got a little messy, as you can see. :) "Be careful with those scissors, Ruthie!". "I will, Mom."

Kaya didn't have anything to do, so she watched Isabelle as she selected songs for the party.

Millie taped posters on the wall...

And of course Lanie and Maryellen were there to oversee all the party decorations!

Then, everyone rushed back to the dollhouse to get dressed in the most retro-looking outfits they could find! When they returned, Maryellen shouted, ''Let the party begin!''. Kaya turned on the jukebox and began to dance.

Isabelle and McKenna were deciding on what game to play.

''This sure is cool, Lanie!'', said Maryellen. ''I know! I love the jukebox Mom made us!'' 

(I made this using a jukebox template I drew. Then I covered a cracker box with brown paper.)

''Ooh, I want a soda!''

Soon, the girls were hungry. A long line formed at the food table.

Everyone loved the tasty treats that Grace made!

''Even though we... couldn't go... swimming, this party was still... a lot of fun!'', said Maryellen, through big bites of her cookie.

''It has been fun! I hope we can do it again.'', replied Lanie.

THE END!

Did you like the story? I'm hoping to make more photo stories soon. :)
