Camp Gowonagin Again!

 After breakfast Molly and Emily were just hanging out in their room thinking of something fun to do.

 

 "I can't believe Summer is almost over!" Molly exclaimed. "I know, I can't wait to go back to school!" replied Emily.
"Ugghhhh..." Molly groaned. "I'm not ready for school yet. We need to do something fun before Summer is really over. You haven't even been to Camp Gowanagin this year Emily. Kirsten and I went when summer began and we had so much fun. We really should go back." 

 

 "Oh that sounds swell Molly, I've always had so much fun at Camp Gowonagin!" Emily gushed.

"Well, what are we waiting for, let's go put on our camp gear!" Molly said excitedly as she jumped out of bed.

 

 "But before we go, we better leave a note for Kirsten and Samantha, they might think we disappeared!" Molly said as she scribbled a quick note to her other sisters.

 

 

 

Later that day, Samantha found Kirsten working alone at the empty school room: 

"Oh, here you are Kirsten! I haven't seen Molly and Emily since breakfast, have you seen them?" Samantha asked.

"No I haven't seen them either, but I've been here all morning. I'm sure they're just in their room. Let's go check!" Kirsten told Samantha.

In Molly's Room...

"Hey! They're not here!" Kirsten exclaimed.

"Maybe they disappeared!" Samantha gasped.

 "Nah, they didn't disappear," Kirsten assured Samantha. "Here's a note from Molly, 'gone to Camp Gowonagin!'
What?! They went to Camp Gowonagin without us!" 

 "What's Camp Gowonagin?" Samantha asked.

 "Oh, it's the funnest camp ever! Molly took me earlier and we had so much fun hiking, fishing, roasting marshmellows, and meeting Molly's other friends!" Kirsten explained to Samantha. "Oh, that does sound fun. I wish we could have gone too..." Samantha sighed. "Well, we should go too! But we don't have the uniforms and we would need it.." Kirsten said disappointedly. "Oh well...maybe Molly will take me next time." Samantha thought out loud.

"WAIT!" Kirsten yelled startling Samantha with her sudden outburst. "We'll go as spies!" Kirsten continued confusing Samantha. "Do you have a hat or a scarf?" Kirsten asked Samantha. Samantha replied, "yes... but what.."
"Great, we will need it to be spies." Kirsten interrupted. "Come on, change into your traveling clothes and hat," she ordered her sister.

 "How do I look?" Samantha asked Kirsten after changing her clothes.

 "Perfect!" Kirsten told Samantha as she checked her own outfit.

"Ummm... Kirsten? How will we get to Camp Gowonagin?" Samantha asked worriedly. 

"well...... I know! we'll take Molly's bike. I know how to ride it, Molly taught me. Just make sure you hold on really tight!" Kirsten said proud of her brilliant idea once again.

At Camp Gowonagin:

"I can't believe we're here!" Emily exclaimed. "It's just like how I remembered, the lake, the trees, the tents, Kirsten and Samantha.."

"KIRSTEN AND SAMANTHA?!?" Molly asked confused.
"Uh huh, isn't that them?" Emily pointed behind the pine trees.

 Molly ran towards Kirsten and Samantha followed by Emily.
"What are you guys doing here?!" Molly asked her sisters.

"Hey! how did you know it was us?" Kirsten wondered.
  

"umm.. it's kind of obvious, and you do really stand out." Emily politely explained to the disappointed Kirsten.

 "Well, I'm glad you're here!" Molly told Kirsten and Samantha.
"You are?" Kirsten asked.

 "Of course! I'm sure the counselors have uniforms and you can stay in our tent. It'll be so much fun!" Molly reassured Kirsten.

 "Yay! Hooray for Camp Gowonagin!" everyone cheered.

OUTTAKES:

Samantha's Trip

Yay! Samantha finally got a chance to go on an outing to the best place for an AG doll... American Girl Place of course!

First stop was lunch. Samantha couldn't help but to ogle at all the yummy pastries. 

 She had to practice will control though since she is a plump PM girl. (oops! her sleeve popped!)

 Next stop was Caroline's parlor. Samantha was feeling a bit shy in her play clothes. "Perhaps I should have worn my tea dress," Samantha pondered.

But the lovely Caroline was quite hospitable and soon Samantha was enjoying the delicious cake Caroline served. (There goes that diet! - just kidding Samantha, you're a beautiful doll just the way you are!)

 She was so at home at Caroline's, she even rested with Inkpot in Caroline's room.

 Last stop at Molly's. We will all truly miss visiting Molly and her warm cheerful displays at the store...

 Back at home Samantha called out to her sisters,"I'm home! ... with PRESENTS!!"

The girls came running out to greet Samantha, and to see what goodies she brought home. 

Kirsten immediately went for the largest box..

..while Emily and Molly greeted Samantha and asked her about her trip.

"Oh Kirsten, actually that big box is for Molly. It's a desk. Mom said Molly has to perfect her multiplication table before school starts in the fall."

 "Don't worry Molly. I'll help you. You still have the flashcards we made last year?" Emily comforted the grumbling Molly.

 "This one is for you Kirsten," Samantha said as she passed out the smaller boxes.

 "Addy picked it out herself! It's one of her favorite dresses, and we both agreed it would look beautiful on you," Samantha told Kirsten. "Thank you! I love it! I really did need a new summer dress!" Kirsten exclaimed.

 "Mom picked out your gift Emily. I wasn't sure if it's something you wanted but she said she did not want to try to track it down after the retirement!" Samantha explained to Emily. "Oh, I love it! Really I do, it's so soft and cozy," the polite Emily reassured Samantha. 

 "And this is what I picked for myself. I also needed a new summer dress," Samantha said as she showed the dress she got to her sisters.

OUTTAKE

Molly and Emily's Tea Party

Emily was a little sad that she didn't get to join in Molly and Kirsten's bike adventure, so Molly surprised her with a little tea party today. She even let Emily borrow her special dress and since Molly didn't have anything else appropriate to wear she helped herself to Emily's meet dress!

"I'm sorry you didn't get to join us yesterday, but I think you like tea parties better, don't you Emily?" Molly asked.

 "Indeed, Molly. This is wonderful, everything looks so delicious!" Emily exclaimed. "Uh-huh, let's eat!" Molly said as she dug into her fruit tart.

 The girls catching up on old times!

 One last look at Molly and Emily enjoying their little party.
