One hour...

in an extremely crowded, excessively loud, ridiculously hot room, with the crowd consisting mostly of children under five, all for this:
That's it, that's all I got. As you can see, Ruby was not too thrilled about sitting on Clifford's lap, so the photo op was extra short. Good thing Clifford was holding on tight because she was fighting to get away.




Luckily, a friend of mine was there and snapped a couple of photos of my girls so you can see that Ruby was fine meeting Clifford. Both girls gave him five and petted him.
But once they were on his lap it all went downhill for Ruby. Here she is contemplating the situation, realizing that Mommy is NOT the one holding on to her any longer:
You can also see my arm trying to snap a picture before it went downhill. My camera just isn't fast enough. Cora was fine with it all. I was annoyed that they skipped the story, it was Story Time, after all. (They skipped it because there were so many kids there, but how long does a kid's story really take?)

I feel sorry for Clifford. If I was hot in that room, he must have been roasting!
