Palmetto Park doll meet pics ( Pic heavy )

Hello again and welcome to another doll meet photo spread! This time we had a meet outdoors at a local park since the weather was still nice and not super hot yet. We had a good turnout too.... lots of regulars, some friends from NC and some new people too!

 

Here's a few group shots of who showed up.

I just adore the 05 girls and Keijogirls' Sayo is one of my all time faves.

After the initial meet and greet, cooking, eating and buy/trade stuff, we split off to take pics in the surrounding areas with our girls. First up for me was my Smartdoll Kurenai. She hadn't been out to any meets before so she was a good choice for this one.

And like almost all my girls, she's a climber.

It's so sad to hear that Kurenai won't be made anymore due to poor sales and a possible broken mold. I think she's a real beauty!

DragonRen had his new girl out for photos as well. She was so cute in her Rem shirt!

After the first round of pics, we all swapped girls and decided to walk some of the trails around the park. I left Kurenai to watch the food and took my newest 09 girl Kiriko out for these photos.

Some of the paths led across the marsh areas, it was quite a nice view.

"Let's keep walking and find some shade, it's a bit warm out here."

The group that went walking spotted these posts so we could do a small group photo.

Down near the river was a dock where you could take out canoes and kayaks.

The playground had a huge 4 story tower on it so we climbed up. This neat spot was on the way up.

I don't know where her eyes are from but her face up was done by the wonderfully talented Freyaicchi. I love her little freckles!

After this we all walked back to the meetup spot and found it was surrounded by a children's birthday party. XD So we had to call the meet done and head off. But it was a great time as always and it was wonderful seeing everyone that attended!

 

I hope yall enjoyed the pics!
