Okay, Miss Thang, my princess mermaid. Well, first of all, remember what I told you last year.
Yeah.
Listen, if I want you to remember anything from today of all the things I told you, I want you to remember what I said to you when you came out and I first held you. I held you just like this. You were crying. You know what I said? I said, you can cry to me anytime, and I will do the best that I can to help out the situation.
Hey, well, I love you.
I love you too. You were very much needed and wanted. A little bit of femininity behind these two rascals. Because we live on a farm, I always wondered if you were going to be a cowgirl, tomboy type of person. Or because you were a daughter of the beautiful one, I wondered if you were going to be a princess mermaid. No. So which one are you?
A cowgirl.
But I think— I think Beautiful One nailed it. I think you're a cowgirl princess mermaid. And when I saw you climbing on that obstacle course today, I was so proud of you because you were so happy and so focused, and it showed me that you can do anything that you put your mind to. You know that? So I'm very proud of you for that. Way to go, girl.
Um, well, she got some water. That Millie's fun. Fun to be around. I can have it. That's enough. And fun to play with.
I have mine.
Here's mine. I have that water, guys.
Okay, anybody else want milk?
Yeah, I want milk. It's making me pee.
How was it, Mr. Brown?
Good.
Good. Okay. Hey guys, do you want to tear down this?
Yeah.
Okay, start cleaning up. We're gonna start cleaning up. Tomorrow we leave. Ready to get on the airplane again? In case you didn't know, she don't like flying the airplane. Oh wow. We've had a great time in Alaska. If you guys haven't seen those videos or all those videos I'll make a playlist. I'll leave it right there.
You like that, Mr. Brown?
