Mystics of Mountain Brook: Fairy Tale Edition

The Mystics of Mountain Brook Halloween Parade!

The library brought a fairy tale parade...

Snow White and the 7ish Dwarfs
 

The Frog Prince

Sleeping Beauty

Cinderella

 Hansel...

...and Gretel (and the Witch!)

Of course, the library folks weren't the only ones there.
We also saw Santa Claus...

Sugar (Maybe that's where the Witch gets
all the candy for her gingerbread house...)

 They look like they came right out of a fairy tale!

St. Luke's

Hey, I recognize those two Things!

David Hufham - he was at our kickoff carnival!

One of our favorite library patrons!
(At least, we think that's her...)

And, of course, the King of the Tiny Kingdom...
Mayor Oden himself!

Thomas Jefferson
washed his feet in ice water every day

John Quincy Adams
kept an alligator as a pet
and swam nude in the chilly
Potomac River every morning.


John Tyler
had fifteen children!

  
Andrew Johnson
was sold by his parents
to be an apprentice to a tailor
and didn't learn to read and write
until he was married.


Rutherford B. Hayes
was the first president
to use a telephone.
His phone number was 1.


James A. Garfield
greeted people by barking like a dog.
To amuse guests, he would write in
Greek with one hand while he wrote
in Latin with the other.


William Howard Taft
once got stuck in the
White House bathtub!
(He weighed 332 pounds.
They got him a bigger bathtub.)


Calvin Coolidge
sometimes walked around
with a raccoon around his neck.


Herbert Hoover
and his wife, when they didn't want
anyone to know what they were saying,
spoke to each other in Chinese.



John F. Kennedy
hired a drama coach to help him
improve his public speaking.
One exercise was to bark like a seal
for two minutes straight.


Lyndon B. Johnson
wore a girdle to conceal
his protruding belly.


Ronald Reagan
kept a jelly bean jar and
brought it to meetings.
Jelly beans were his favorite food.


All these facts came from the books
and

get those and other fascinating
books about the presidents!
