On the Big Rock Candy Mountain

I always remember one kids' singalong video from my days as a babysitter.  It was a bunch of kids singing and acting out songs such as "Backwards Land," "I Like Trucks," and "On a Big Rock Candy Mountain."  I still get those songs stuck in my head sometimes, but I have never been able to find the video on YouTube.  We all went to Galveston this past weekend to look at a couple of houses.  Finley did great and we went to lunch at the Black Pearl afterwards.  She ate so much and was so well behaved, that I promised her she could pick out a piece of candy or get some ice cream on the Strand at La Kings Confectionery.  I thought for sure that she would opt for the ice cream, but I was wrong.  She spied the rock candy in the back and that is all she had eyes for.  Luckily, there were lollipops so it wouldn't get too messy.  Finley enjoyed her pink rock candy lollipop very much.
