This Is What Big Sisters Are For

Besides saving mom the humiliation of squeezing into the kiddie ride seat.

Yes, she is 16 years old

Now this one, on the other hand, has ALWAYS been afraid of these larger than life characters, and she HAS seen them on TV. But now that she is too old to be afraid, she is going to get her hug in even if it is only supposed to be for ages 12 and under.

Diego Hug

This kid has never been scared of these larger than life characters. Maybe if we actually let her watch the TV shows they come from it would be a different story... Check out how she sneaks a kiss in on his cheek.

Pancakes make me wanna dance!
