in a kingdom sort of close to the Ocean lived a beautiful Princess and a handsome Prince.
Most days were spent happily playing in the garden under the shade of a giant palm tree with ne'er a care in the world. One day the Queen took the Prince and Princess to visit a close friend who lived in an ancient tower in a nearby Kingdom. After a wonderful visit they were surprised to find that the magical lift would no longer convey them back down. The Queen repeatedly depressed the glyph of summoning to no avail.
What would they do? The Queen, although feeling nervous, kept her composure and assured them that they were safe. The Princess did not agree!
All of a sudden a loud clomping sound was heard echoing in the distant recesses of the tower. From a nearby portal emerged a dashing hero and his knightly companions. "This way to safety m'lady," he said as he whisked the Princess up into his arms. The Queen held onto the Prince while the knights took hold of the royal chariot. They wound their way down a dimly lit narrow passage until at long last they reached the bottom. Emerging from the dark they saw the welcoming bright light of the sun and many people happy to see their safe return.
The Princess and Prince, not to mention the Queen, were very relieved to once again return to their castle that they call home.
It was indeed enough adventure for one day!
*Thank you to the Pasadena Fire Department for whisking this mommy and her babies to safety down 6 flights of stairs with a double stroller and a bunch of baby gear. You guys are the best! Darn that smoking magical lift!*

I really wished I'd had my camera. A picture of Lorelai with the Fireman would have been so cute! She was wearing her princess dress too, so it really was like the Princess was being saved. They were both so good, all the firemen thought so. I'm a very proud mommy.
