So, I didn't bring my board cause I was just checking it out but boy - Alden was right - the caboose totally rocks!
I went over to the steps of the switch house and was thinking about what a fun but hard job it would have been to be an engineer or one of the dudes that had to jump off and throw the switches and jump back on.....maybe that is the conductor.....I don't have a clue, I'll have to ask Alden next time I see him. At any rate, it'd be fun to travel the country and see all the different places but then you'd also be away from your family. I'd totally hate that part.
Finally, I got to climb up on the actual caboose - it was totally rad! It's such a big car too! Did you know that cabooses served as a shelter car at the very end of a looooong train for the crew that was responsible for throwing the switches? I learned that it also served as the conductors office. Who knew? This caboose actually had two very small bunks and an itty bitty cooking area too. No food though and I was starting to hear my stomach make some very creepy sounds so I decided it was time to head back home.
Next time I come, I'm gonna bring my skate board for sure and maybe even bring Meatloaf for a walk but it was very cool seeing this super rad caboose! Can't wait to tell Alden!

Hello Carina, So glad you liked my post! The girls don't normally let me do them cause I'm a boy! I know the girls at the dorm are all different ages. If there is one of the girls you want to know the age of, just reply here and I can get them to answer you! Congrats on getting Izzy for your birthday! Birthday's are cool! I know the girls at The Dorm were all excited and giddy over Isabelle coming to visit early but I don't know where she came from. I'm sure you'll like Isabelle....she's cool, well, as far as girls go that is. Thanks for posting a comment....that's super cool! -Trey ✌
DeleteThis is a really cute post. Which MAG was Trey originally before customization? Is Isabelle still around at the "dorm", or did she leave permanently?
ReplyDeleteHi Dally, I don't know much about my past....I was adopted. If you check me out on the "Meet The Guys" page, there is information about where I came from. Maybe that will help answer your question?
DeleteIt wouldn't surprise me if Izzy came to stay with us permanently.....the girls are all plotting on how to make that happen. Thanks again for commenting! ~Trey ✌
Tray, you are so cute! Juliet just made a boy doll (as in, today), he is yet to have a name (any suggestions?). I really like the second picture, what camera do they use for pictures of you? I also really like your posts, the girls here ought to let Mr.NoName post sometimes, once we have our own blog. What wig did they use for you? The one on Mr.NoName is a Monique Jhonney, Medium brown, size 10-11.
ReplyDeleteBye,
Sallie-Mae (I'm the main Gal over here at Mini-Braids And Dolls :)
Sup Sallie-Mae! Umm, thanks for the compliment. Ha, had to laugh at "Mr.NoName"! I don't know what to suggest about a name - the girls are better at that. I asked them and they suggested; Trenton, Blake, Collin, Holden or Hudson. They all sound cool to me!
DeleteI don't know about my hair....I was adopted. If you check me out on the "Meet The Guys" page, there is information about where I came from. Thanks again for commenting! ~Trey ✌
No problem- Thanks for the suggestions!
DeleteYou're welcome! Let us know what name you decide on for Mr.NoName! Poor guy! Dude needs a name asap! ~Trey ✌
DeleteSome cabooses (or hacks as railroaders call them) had more than two bunks. There is one at the Wanamaker, Kempton, & Southern Railroad in Kempton, PA that sleeps 4 - 6 crew men. You have to climb up to two of them. It's fun to ride up there and watch the scenery from the cupola.
ReplyDeleteCool! That'd be kinda like a rollin' slumber party! Sah-weet!! ~Trey ✌
DeleteYeah, it is. And getting to those top bunks is like climbing a tree.
DeleteOh Dear, I'm so sorry I have to do this, this is so embarrassing, but Ruby really has the biggest crush on you.
ReplyDeleteShe's a no. 28 like Sarah, but she's really, girly?! I really already know you're gonna say no. Because you've got a girlfriend already probably or you still hate girls. She can't stop talking about you... help me Trey!
Kit (Ruby's BFF)
Ps. Help!
Oh It would be a long distance relationship anyways, we live in England (CRINGE)
Hey Kit, Nice hearing from ya. So Ruby is your BFF? And she's driving you crazy talking about ME?? Really? That's kinda neat but kinda awkward too, kwim? I don't have a girlfriend...but I do have lots of girls that are good friends. Just not ready for that kinda thing yet. You should tell Ruby I say "Hey" and that I think it'd be cool to somehow keep in touch but just as friends across the pond! Ask her if she'd like that? ~Trey ✌
DeleteOh Hey I would tots love that. It's Ruby, and I guess I am crazy about you, but I'd love to keep in touch!!!
ReplyDeleteRuby ;-)
Cool! What are your favorite foods over there? -Trey ✌
DeleteI know you're probably still asleep, time differences but I couldn't wait to answer, my fave food with probs have to be Pizza, I know it's not very british, but who cares. Anyways I'm american not british, not that pizza is american either. Kwim?
DeleteSorry I sorta speak in text language?
Ruby ;-)
Ha, that's funny that you like Pizza! I was thinkin' you'd say something very British but then you said you're American and that totally explains it! What kinda pizza do you get over there? We like Papa John's and Ledo's here. -Trey ✌
DeleteWe have Pappa John's over here! But we have Pizza Express and other places. But none are as good as John's in NYC near Times Square. I miss American so much? Hey Trey, who's you're fave singer and what celebrity would you compare yourself to???
ReplyDeleteRuby ;-)
Sweet! You have Papa John in the UK! Right now my fav from them is the Buffalo Chicken...aw man, I could eat 6 pieces in one sitting! Never been to NY so never heard of John's. Let me think on my fav singer and celeb. I'll post in a bit! ~Trey ✌
Deletethanks dolly dorm diaries! i just know checked! :)
ReplyDeletecarina
im not trying to be pushy or anything, but i was just wondering when you might post the blog info about harper and hope?
ReplyDeletecarina :)
Carina, Harper here. How sweet of you to ask about me!! I'm super stoked that you did! Oh, we know you're not being pushy at all! We just have been so busy we haven't had time to take the photos of me and Hope to add to the "Meet The Girls" page. I promise, we'll try and get to that sooner than later! ~Harper ☺
DeleteHey Trey,
ReplyDeleteMaybe if we could meet up some time we could go to Pappa John's that would be EPIC! How's it goin over there?! We last heard from the Us when it started snowing like Car-aazy In NY and NJ! But we hadn't heard since, we are very interested, plus we're pretty worries for the fellow AG peeps over in the US. My fave singer is Taylor Swift and my fave song will always be "we are never getting back together" but when she did the song with Ed Sheeren I was excited! It was pretty good, you should check it out. OOH and if the person who happens to own me (Imi) can persuade her Mum we might just get a blog, of course a blogger cos we've got a google account.
Hope you are okazay and I hope the girls are 2,
Ruby ;-)
Hey Ruby, Yeah, sure...if we are ever in the same town that could work! We only got a few inches of snow here. I was so hoping to get, like, 7" or so but not this time. I love sledding and all though there was enough to do a bit of that, not near enough to make hills and ramps to fly off of. Some of the girls here LOVE Taylor Swift. One song they love to sing a lot is "You Belong with Me". In fact, I can hear it in the background as I am typing this reply! There are about a dozen songs from T.S. on their playlist....I guess she is really popular with the girls here at the dorm. I think the music video for "We Are Never Getting Back Together" is a riot...all those "party animals" are tots funny! Hey, let us know if you end up doing a blog...it's a lot of work - or so the girls tell me - but it's pretty cool too! ~Trey ✌
DeleteHey Trey,
DeleteJust got back from School. The girls obviously have amazing music tastes!
It's such a shame you didn't get snow, we never do in England and the weather is pretty much just dumb old rain 24 7. It's never ever sunny. When I loved it america I used to go snowboarding with all of the other girls, there's ten of us, including me, and soon to be Eleven since Izzy will be joining us in like seven weeks!!!!! YAY! That's something that's defo going to be happening, un like the blog, Imi is so slow it's always, "I'll do my boring old dumb homework first before I ask Mum" SHE IS TAKING AGES. All good things come to the ones who wait, right?
Ruby ;-)
Hi Ruby, We have been out of school for a week because we did get **some** snow but worse is the below freezing temps. Last week one of our buses slid off the road into a ditch and they were afraid it was going to tip over with the kids on it....all the kids got off but I think now they are a bit more careful and are playing it safe by closing school. Snowboarding is cool...never done that. I have skis that I want to give a try out if we could just get a good amount of snow. Tried to go outside and make a snowman today but the snow is so light and dry that I couldn't even make a snowball in my hand! So, it's a pretty snow but not a fun snow, kwim? I don't think I could handle it being so rainy were you are! Yikes, I need me some sun! Is Izzy arriving via post or are you going to travel to pick her up? Either way, she's a nice girl, as far as girls go. :) ~Trey ✌
DeleteHey Trey
DeleteThat's a bummer, I hate snow like that. The other girls just stand there inside and admire the snow and are like "Oh Isn't it pretty?" We never ever have snow, even if we have snow like that it would be pretty awesome. Soooo yes Izzy is coming in the Post, but she's not coming directly from AG. She's going from AG to this company In London called My Doll Boutique and then being posted all the way to us. Well It's actually about 2 hours in a car, so yeah.
We can't wait for her to come, she seems so kind and we'll probably have loads of adventures with her!!!
Ruby ;-)
Yea, if you don't get any snow at all....I guess any kinda snow is better than NO snow. I get that, totally. Snow is melting today and warm temps on the way so doesn't look like we'll get any more for at least a week or more.
DeleteCool that Izzy is traveling by post with a stopover in London! Sweet. You'll have to be sure and share your adventures with her as part of your fam. :) ~Trey ✌
Hey Trey
DeleteYh we're real excited over here, especially Saige, Brooklyn and Dakota, they're all going to be in fifth grade together, which will be fun. By any chance do you know Isabelle's Birthday, did AG set one for her like they did for Saige, I'm a bit puzzled about that, so is everyone else.
I wonder if she'll go on the London Eye and visit the houses of Parliament. It would be so cool if she could visit the queen or the Prime Minister, thought of course that will never happen.
Ruby ;-)
Say hey to the girls from me.
Sup Ruby? We went back to school today...finally! I bet the girls are super excited about Isabelle coming....boy, the girls here get all excited about that kinda thing. I only get that excited about skate boarding and playing with Meatloaf. But hey, to each their own, right? So, your Isabelle should definitely do all those things - especially the London Eye! That'd be SUPER RAD. Even if she can't see the Queen or PM, she could pretend, right? Maybe write a script of what she'd say and practice that bowing thing the girls do....curtsy or something? I'll tell the girls you said "Hey!" ~Trey ✌
DeleteHaha! This is cute! Great pictures! :)

ReplyDeleteSup Tulukea! Super cool that you like boarding too! It's cool that you are supportive of your sister...just keep encouraging her. You know, I know some kids in school that are the "uncool" kids cause they have challenges...some of them just have little challenges, like being shy. Other's have some really big challenges like Tourette's Syndrome or Down's . Big or small, everyone deserves a friend and a supportive fam. Cool that you are that for Harmonie. Tell her she can chat with me like it's you and I bet that'll be much easier! Chow. ~Trey ✌

ReplyDeleteHey Tulukea, Glad she had a big smile...probly lit up the whole room! Cool. Not sure how to understand her message though...sorry. Hey, we all got "odd" families...just the way it is! Just tell her to keep writing since she is so good at it! ~Trey ✌
DeleteOur friend Logan says hello, we told him there was a boy posting on this blog and he said kewl. We cannot get him in on the computer he will help Lynsy create things to build but that is about all the computer he does. lol Taryn
ReplyDeleteHello Taryn, You'll have to tell Logan that I'd love to see what he builds and shares....total kewl that he is handy like that!!! ~Trey ✌
Deleteis there any chance u might be getting isabelle permanently? the girls seemed like they really liked her, and she seems like a great additon to the fam. :)
ReplyDeletecarina-
Hi Carina, Harper here. Yes, we are sooooo hoping that our very own Izzy will come to live here too. We all loved her so much and we all miss her so much too! We tots agree the she'd be a wonderful addition to the fam! ~Harper ♥
Deletethis is a totally random question but if u could create a girl of the year what would she look like,what would be her name, and what would be her story? :)
ReplyDeletecarina
Ummmm, that's a good question! I think I'll ask the other girls and get their input. Maybe we can do a post about all our ideas! Do you have an idea? ~Harper ♥

ReplyDeleteSup Charlei, Sounds like you and your peeps are super busy! Kinda jelly of Tulukea being at the beach. That's one of my fav places to go. I like to skimboard....super rad fun! Sounds like ya'lls just got really crowded...much like around here. Welcome to your three new sisters. Don't worry bout having a boyfriend....you and me both got a LOT of time for that in the future. Just need to have fun hanging with friends and not worry bout all that boy/girl stuff. Peace! ~Trey ✌
DeleteHey Trey! This is Hadley, my sister Channing has the BIGGEST crush on you, its really driving CRAY CRAY. All she ever talks about is, Trey, Trey and more Trey! she probably doesn't want me telling you this and you probably are already in a relationship but maybe you two could talk? Idk just think about it!
ReplyDelete-Hadley
Hi Hadley, All this attention is a bit awkward cause I'm just a boy who loves sports (especially skateboarding) and the Loafster (my sister's dog, aka Meatloaf). I don't mind talking and all but I am not into girls that way. It kinda made me laugh though that my name rhymed with CRAY CRAY.....CRAY CRAY for Trey Trey, LOL! :) So, I don't mind talking to anyone but just not in a girlfriend sorta way, kwim? Thanks! You can tell Channing I said "sup"! Off to do homework now - blech! ~Trey ✌
DeleteHey Trey! I get it. My sister would still love to chit chat with you:). LOL CRAY CRAY for Trey Trey! I didn't think of that! Channing says "hey"! Can she talk to you? - Hadley
DeleteHaha, yeah. LOL. Tell her I said "sup"!
Delete-Trey
Can she talk to you now? If so this is her. Hey Trey? Whats up?
DeleteHey Channing, this is Hope! He's out roller-skating and wont be back 'till late, so he'll talk to you later. :)
DeleteOh, Okay thanks hope ;P
DeleteHey Channing. Hope said I should get on here and say "Sup" to you before I get into my homework. I was out til late last night with my church youth group. We went to the roller skating rink...it was cool. I like doing things like that. Gotta cut out now and get my homework done. ~Trey ✌
DeleteOh, Okay! What grade are you in?
Delete-Channing
Hey Channing, I'm in 6th grade. This Fall, I'll be going into 7th grade. ~Trey ✌
DeleteOh, thats soooo cool!
Deletehi trey
ReplyDeleteI know that your roller-skating, but I wonder why you didn't answer me...I thought that you will be my friend, but if you don't want to that is fine...I guess. ( v - v )
~Charlei the sad owl ( v - v )
- lost connection -
*runs away crying*
Hey Charlei, No need to be sad. I was out with my youth group from church and I had to get all my homework done before going or I couldn't go. So, just so you know, I don't have lots of extra time especially during the week to be chatting. Plus, I am not a big talker...you know, us guys aren't so much like that as you girls are. Boy, the girls here just talk all day long! I wonder how they don't run out of things to talk about but I swear they never do...talk, talk, talk, talk! So, like I said, I can check now and again but I am not on here every day cause of after school sports and church stuff and the dreaded homework! Speaking of which, this is my last response today cause I'm gonna get in trouble if I don't get off the computer and get on the homework! ~Trey ✌
Delete"o k a y. i understand.
Deleteyea..but now I have a l o t of new things are happen so i am really scared and shy. i am just confused right now, so i probably wont be on so much...so don't worry...well you can talk to me whenever you aren't so busy. o k a y? or when i feel like talking. why? because ever since all these new things are happening so quickly, i haven't been talking that much. Just scared in a corner."
~Charlei the scared owl ( v - v )
"come on Charlei, time to move into your dorm room!" ~Mayia
"o-okay. bye Trey." ~Charlei
I'm not sure I really understand what you're talking about...y'know, us boys don't really understand emotional stuff... but I hope you're okay and you adjust to all of the new things that are happening. Catch ya later! ~Trey ✌
Delete" hehe. yea its not emotional well maybe, well i am just scared because i have never been in a real type of school. i mean i have been home-schooled for as long as i can remember, so moving into a brand new boarding school is really terrifying for me. i mean i don't even want to go to this school, but my mama is making me because i made it in or something like that. So just packing up my things, terrified me and i just ran to a corner not want to go, but now i am sitting in my dorm room, not being able to go home until spring break. oh man. ( v - v ) so i guess i am just sacred on what people will say and just its hard for me to fit in so i am just really really terrified for the years to come...
DeleteWell anyways thank you, i probably will adjust soon or later. hehe." ~Charlei the scared, but happy owl ( ^ - ^ )
Ah. Public school is a little freaky at first... but after the first few weeks... you'll be having lots of fun! I'm sure you'll make some of new friends. If anyone tries to pick on ya, just tell 'em to grow up. That's what I do. I'm not the most popular kid in school, but at least I'm happy with my small group of friends. In my opinion... popularity is just a big game to see who has the most friends. As long as you make 1 or 2 really good friends, you'll be good to go! Hope you adjust to it all soon. ~Trey ✌
DeleteYea, but this school isn't really a public school, it only has like 20 students. So it is a really really small "private" school. hehe. Yea, me too...I am for sure not a popular girlie, to be honest. I really don't like popular girlies or guys. They are just so stuck up and think they up here [ high like royals ] and we are down here [ down in the dirt ] So that why i really don't like them at all. I will try and make some new friends, but it really hard. Because I am so shy, well I used to be outgoing and such, but now I have changed into terrified and shy. (v-v) Oh well.
DeleteThank you again and yea probably soon. hehe.
~Charlei the happy, but shy owl (^-^)
That sounds cool! And yeah... I totally agree about the popular kids. Don't worry...you'll make some new friends!! ~Trey ✌
