Traveling Dutch Kids - Part Three

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Aspen Lane Real Estate Colorful Colorado CRE# 40005863

 

Sometimes I am just plain silly!

 

If you read my earlier blogs:

the-tale-of-the-traveling-dutch-kids

 

and 

traveling-dutch-kids---part-two

 

you will know of the fun we have been having in my neighborhood with some crazy looking Dutch Kid statues.

 

Here is a follow up to the ongoing saga.

 

This morning, my friend (watermelon lady) called the Russian lady who lives next door to me.  The greeting on the other end of the phone wasn't Hello - it was "What the %$#@ are these haunted statues doing
peering in at me from my backyard?"

 

She wanted those crazy things GONE!  ha ha

 

We couldn't simply toss the Dutch kids in the trash now could we?

 

So we wheeled them to the entrance of our neighborhood where they are posed to greet people as they enter.

 

My husband is getting a little tired of moving them from point A to point B.

 

 

 

It will be interesting to hear what the rest of the neighbors have to say about this new entry design since they aren't privy to the goings on.

Ok, so the statues have made their way out of their yard, explored other people's yards, and are now poised to leave the community. Where to next on their road trip?

Too funny!

I think a road trip would be fun.  One could sit in the front seat Ann McMillin

It is starting to remind me of those commercials where they move the gnomes to different locations Grant Schneider

I think you are next going to be dealing with the case of the missing kissing dutch kids.  That neighbor of yours is going to grab them and make sure they never see the light of day again.

Hi Belinda - You'd better take an impromptu road trip before the cops show up asking questions.

Belinda- I'm loving this, and I must admit...they're growing on me!!!  They could become slightly larger travel bugs (see geocaching) and that truly would be fun.

Sadly the Dutch kids went in the trash today.  The original owner said they had their fun and it was time for them to retire.

Oh now Erin Bates they only hung out for about 24 hours.  I did hear from a few other people though wondering what the heck was going on.
