A Visit from My Parents

My parents came for a two week visit. They were here from Father's Day to just after Independence Day. The kids put on a couple of plays and we participated in our own private bell ringing on the 4th.

My parents took the kids to a Civil War battle field in Prairie Grove, AR

The king meets with his daughters to discuss the upcoming celebration of Emiletta's birthday. Unknown to them, the evil Lord Belchazar has other plans.

Lord Belchazar tricks the princess into taking a walk with him and then locks her into a high tower.

"Emiletta! Where are you?" called Princess Rose.

"Here I am, Rose," cried Emiletta.

"What are you doing up in that tower? Let me help you down."

"Now I have you both!" exclaimed Lord Belchazar as he locks Princess Rose into the tower.

The king discovers his daughters are locked in the tower and rescues them after defeating Lord Belchazar in a duel to the death.

"Hey Jack! Have you heard? The princess had been kidnapped by the giant and there's a reward for whoever rescues her."

"Wow! I can see my house from here."

Jack is befriended by the giant's housekeeper.
