My daughters abby doll kept saying "hi im abby cadaby, im a fairy in training for the whole trip and it was stuck in a box in the back of the truck somewhere. the batteries never wore out...Also, the coral and rocks were in a cooler but the temp dropped to 59 degrees. So we will see if they all survive or not.
