Climbing Mount Purple Cloud- Part Two

Hey, y'all! I'm back with Part Two of Climbing Mount Purple Cloud! So, to recap... Something completely unexpected happened when Kristoff began building stairs out of the snow by the mountain...
----------------------------------
 

"Hey!" the snow mound exclaimed, it's funny voice rising an octave. "What're you doin'?"
Kristoff backed up with a shout, Anna screamed, and Sven tried to run away from the talking blob of snow.


When the snow mound saw how scared everyone was, he brought one of his stick arms up in a wave.
"Hi! I'm Olaf!" he introduced himself. "And I don't hurt people!"


The kids and Sven stopped running for a moment and looked back at the giant snow-thing.
"What are you?" Anna asked.
"Well, I'm a snowman!" Olaf chuckled. "And what are you?"
Anna and Kristoff looked at each other. "Well, we're..."
Olaf suddenly burst into uncontrollable laughter. Wiping away a tear from his eye, he answered, "I know what you are! I was just asking because you asked me!"


Sven trotted up to Olaf and started rearing up on his hind legs.
"Oh! You have a pet!" Olaf exclaimed with good cheer.


Sven kept jumping up and down until he became too tired to do so anymore. He then sat on his rump and stared at Olaf's bright orange nose, a little dribble of saliva dripping from his mouth.
Olaf laughed, saying, "I like you too!"


"Sven!" Kristoff called. Sven came trotting back to his boy's side.
"So what brings you three here?" Olaf asked.
Anna jumped in. "Well, we're trying to climb to the top of Mount Purple Cloud to search for the treasure that Kristoff heard about yesterday, but we can't get up to the top, so we were trying to use you as stairs!"
"Well, why didn't ya say so! Hop up!" Olaf exclaimed.


Olaf leaned up against the side of the mountain, allowing Kristoff and Sven to climb up first.


Once he was on the mountain, Kristoff helped Anna up. The three friends then stood together, excited that they were so much closer to discovering the treasure.
"Wait, shouldn't we help Olaf get up here with us?" Anna suggested.
"Alright," Kristoff agreed. "Let's see if he needs a hand."


Anna leaned down the mountain and extended her little hand. "Come on, Olaf! I'll help you get up!"
Olaf smiled, but said, "Thank you, little girl, but I can get up by myself!"
Anna wrinkled her nose. She didn't like being called "little girl." She explained, "My name is Anna!"


But Olaf didn't respond, because he was busy launching himself into the air and landing on top of everyone.


"Olaf!" Kristoff yelled.
"Oops! Sorry!" Olaf apologized. "I forget my own strength sometimes!"
Anna glanced at Olaf's stick arms and thought Is he really that strong?


Kristoff pulled himself up and said, "Well, now that we're at the top of Mount Purple Cloud, where should we look for the treasure?"
Olaf piped up, saying, "Ooh! Ooh! I know this one! I've been waiting to say this for forever!"
Anna asked, "What do you mean by that, Olaf?"
"I've stayed here on the mountain ever since that pirate hid his treasure here!" Olaf explained. "He told me the key to finding his treasure was hidden in a riddle."
"Well, what is the riddle?" Kristoff pressed.


Olaf cleared his throat and announced, "To find the treasure you seek, under a purple rock you must peek!"
"A purple rock?" Anna pondered as she sat down.
Kristoff groaned, saying, "But there are so many purple rocks all over this mountain!"


Anna looked around her, then noticed, "Actually, there's only one purple rock on this mountain! The others are yellow!" She then stood up and pointed at the rock she had been sitting on. "The treasure must be under here!"


Kristoff, Anna, and Sven attacked the purple rock with gusto. Olaf watched the trio start to dig into the rock and said, "Oh, how exciting! I've just been waiting and waiting for someone to come along and find that treasure!"


"Olaf is kind of odd," Anna whispered to Kristoff.
"Yeah!" he agreed. "He's probably the way he is because he's been up here for so long!"
Then Anna felt something solid and cold as she was digging.
"Kristoff! I think I found it!"

Sooo.... Whatcha thinkin' so far? The final installment is what's next! I'm so excited to show y'all!

Climbing Mount Purple Cloud- Part One

Hey, y'all! I was able to take pictures over the course of two days for this photo story, and I'm just so happy to share it with you! I know I've been a horrible blogger lately, and I apologize for that. I realized that I have never written a story for Anna and Kristoff the toddler dolls, so I used them for my inspiration this time. I hope you enjoy this photo story!
------------------------------------------
Anna was having fun playing in her brand-new house on a sunny morning. She had realized that she needed a place to live earlier on in the week, so she had decided to take the initiative and build herself a house! It was really more of a fort, since it consisted mostly of fabric... And some walls... Alright, she had just dragged Ginger Spice's curtain up to make a wall (of some sort) in one of the corners of Ginger's room, and called it her house.
Anyways, one day, Anna heard a muffled "knock" at her door and saw the curtain swing back and forth with the force of the knock.
 
 
"Who DARES to disrupt my slumber?!" Anna exaggeratedly yelled, her voice deepening.

 
She scooted underneath the door to see who was there.

 
"Kristoff!" Anna exclaimed in delight.
Kristoff smiled. "Hi, Anna!" Then he gave her a funny look and asked, "Was I disturbing something?"
Anna giggled. "No, I just say that whenever someone comes to the door! It usually scares strangers away."

 
Anna crawled out from underneath her door and realized that Kristoff wasn't alone.
"Oh, you brought Sven!" she reached out to pet Sven.
Sven snuffled with delight at seeing one of his favorite people.
Kristoff nodded and said, "Yep! Sven and I came to ask you something."
"What is it?" Anna questioned.

 
"We were wondering if you wanted to come with us on an adventure!" Kristoff announced dramatically.
"OOH! An adventure!" Anna squealed with glee. "What kind of adventure?"
Kristoff pointed out into the not-so-far distance. "We're going to climb Mount Purple Cloud!"

 
Mount Purple Cloud loomed before the children, tall and imposing. The reason Kristoff and Anna called it Mount Purple Cloud was because the mountain seemed to stretch upwards until it touched the clouds. Oh, yes, and because it was purple.

 
"Why would you want to climb Mount Purple Cloud?" Anna asked, a little nervous at the thought of climbing something so tall.
"Because I heard a story at dinner last night that said that a pirate buried his treasure up there!" Kristoff explained. "It might just be a legend, but I want to find out!"
Sven made some snorting noises in agreement.
Anna fidgeted with her skirt for a moment, but then looked up at Kristoff and answered, "Alright, let's do it!"
"Yes!" Krisoff exclaimed. He then pointed at the book he was standing on. "Oh, and, Anna? Why is there a book on the floor?"
Anna turned her noise up at him and announced,"It's a doormat!"

 
The trio walked to the base of the mountain, where they were met with a dilemma.
"How are we going to get up?" Anna queried.
Kristoff shrugged. "Maybe we can... Umm... Oh! We can grab the side of the mountain and hoist ourselves up!"
Anna's face told Kristoff all he needed to know about how bad an idea that was.

 
"Wait!" Kristoff pointed over to a lump of snow to their left. "We can use that snow to build--"
"A SNOWMAN!!!!!" Anna shrieked with joy.
"Uh, no." Kristoff's eyebrows knitted together. "We can use the snow to build some stairs to climb up the side of the mountain!"
Anna frowned, disappointed. "Fine..." she conceded.

 
Kristoff ran towards the snow and attempted to form it into a big mound of snow stairs, while Anna and Sven stayed back and watched him. But then something completely unexpected happened...

This concludes part one! I can't wait to show you the rest of the story as time goes on. What do you think so far?
