So I finally got the chance to take Midas and Akbadain outside for the first time. I've been wanting to take Akbadain outside ever since I got him. They look even better outside. Midas is a little on the short side when standing next to Akbadain, but he looks perfect on top of him. With Akbadain, Midas was ready to explore the wild. Or at least the backyard. Midas certainly enjoyed the ride in the soft breeze on a comfortable day. Something caught Akbadain's attention. Midas let Akbadain have his head, and went where the horse would take him. Luckily, Akbadain is very smart, even if a bit stubborn, and he might even lead his master to treasure. And the last one is my favorite picture of the day. I'm hoping to get lots of pictures with these two together, especially on bigger trips. The only question is how will I carry Akbadain? ~SilverStar-Burst

So I've been really busy lately since I decided to get a job at one of our local fabric and crafts stores. It's keeping me busy and the weather's been kind of bad around here lately (it actually snowed on Sunday), so I haven't had a lot of time to post. But today was beautiful outside, and I was home all day, so I buckled down and did some photography. One of the things I've been wanting to show off was my new horse. No, not a live horse. We live in the city and, unfortunately for my sister, don't have space for that. But we do have space for doll horses so that's what I bought. This is Akbadain (awk-ba-die-n). I named him after the ancient ruins in the Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask 3DS game. I love Professor Layton, and I also loved the name of the ancient city of Akbadain. It made such a perfect horse name, so I decided to call this guy after it. This is the Inflames Horse from the Tang Monk set. He comes complete with internal skeleto...

After a week of travels, the YoSD crew returned home. It was a rainy afternoon when they settled to the couch at Descole and Ryder's house to open the box and get a better look at the treasure. "What do you think is in it?" Ryder wondered. "Another box?" Descole opened the wooden container and stared in surprise. Impatiently, Jasmine pulled the wooden box out of Descole's way. "Well, open it!" she cried. The box had an ornate design on the cover. Descole had never seen anything like it. So without hesitating, Descole threw open the box. "Wow!" All the kids couldn't tear their eyes off the gorgeous jewel inside. It was then that detectives Rocky and Brick came in from the rain and a difficult case. "What are you kids up to?" Rocky asked the little ones on the couch. Descole looked up at his dad and uncle. "Looking at the treasure we found in Goblin Valley." "Let...
