Lively Ladybug

For Halloween this year, Rory has assumed the role of "lively ladybug", a part that requires more than just an adorable costume. As this video demonstrates, Rory works hard to ensure that her ladybug is indeed the liveliest of them all! Rory and 30 of her closest friends stormed the J.W. Tumbles in Alexandria for a very active Halloween Party. (On Friday evening, Rory wore her costume to a party at her mommy and daddy's work, but her parents forgot the camera for that outing.)
Rory was lonely on the teeter-totter, so she called out to her friend Ava to join her.
Ava was dressed as a little lion. Fortunately, Rory wasn't at all territorial about this activity. However, that couldn't be said for the ...
slide! When Rory climbed to the top of just this one, she claimed it as her own. Perhaps she was tauting the other tiny tots to a game of "queen of the hill"?

Fortunately, there were many slides to climb. On this one, Rory enjoyed a game of "peek a boo" before ...
... her mommy "encouraged her" to take a ride on the slide so that the other kids could take their turns.
On this slide, Rory took a little tumble when her (bad) daddy took his eyes off her for a minute (mmmm ... halloween candy!).
But the tumble didn't deter her from getting right back onto the slide for some more fun.
This trapeze entranced Rory for some time. She wondered: when do I get to play on this toy?
The answer came a few minutes later when a oblong cushion was loaded onto two of the trapezes, giving Rory a fun "horsey" ride.
From "horse" to train, Rory tamed them all. However, after a long afternoon of jumping, shouting, climbing, sliding, and riding ...
... Rory collapsed on the floor with exhaustion. Ya know, sometimes it's hard to know exactly what Rory is trying to communicate to us. This time, it was clear: take me home and put me to bed!
