Flying Bathtub

Queenie. Beaner. Stuffanie

3ish. 4ish. 7ish.

Platinum hair. Blond hair. Mousy bob.

Attacked by a bird. Afraid of heights. Afraid my top wouldn't stay up.

It was the 80s. We were in Wisconsin Dells in a bathtub in the sky. Mom dressed us in matching sun suits.

I love this picture. It is a good depiction of our childhood. Not literally...obviously Mom did not make us sit in our flying bathtub to take pictures very often... that was her toy.

I just mean that:

~~Queenie and Beaner always had this gorgeous blond hair and I was stuck with mousy, brown,shaggy mess on my head.

~~We were in the Dells with DeeDee because we went to the Dells with DeeDee a lot. This is a delicious souvenir of that day

~~We are all hanging on for dear life with forced smiles on our faces. Not to get all melodramatic, but I remember feeling that way a few times in my childhood. I remember thinking, "thank goodness my sisters are here to help me hang on."

~~Beaner was so lanky...hence the nickname "bean". Queenie had on a blue sun suit because she always got what she wanted...hence the nickname Queenie.

I have said it before, but I love those chicks.

Love you right back STUFF. (Queenie couldn't really say Steph very well so it always came out Stuff...hence the nickname Stuff)

Much Love.
