My dear friend, Stacie, informed me in the comments that she thought "vamanos" means "let's go". And it's not that I don't trust her because she did spend half a summer in some Spanish-speaking country (Where I think she learned how to say "Donde estan lavatorio?" a lot, bless her heart.) but I had to find out for sure. I had been told vamanos meant "hurry".
Well, not only did I confirm that vamanos does indeed mean "let's go" in Spanish, but I also learned how to ask
Donde estan sus armas?
I'm sure that will come in handy in my chosen profession.

LOL I was gonna tell you that too...I only know because Destiny has a Dora the Explorer potty seat and written all over it is "Vamanos! Let's go!"
hehehe
maybe I need to watch Dora more often.... my Spanish bites and I'm taking it online right now.. I know online... what was I thinking?? are you asking:
where is their arm????
Who lost their arm?
Where are your arms?
Where are the weapons?
No señale esa arma en mí! ;)
Mama K, Vamanos! Donde estan lavatorio?
Jennifer, Dora is enlightening. In an annoying preschool kind of way.
Nope, close.
Mama K, close!
Recklace, YES! Being a displaced Texan comes in handy occasionally, eh?
¿Qué arma entonces indica?
Tu vive in Oklahoma, en el pais. Tu necesita un arma!
Tres anos de espanol, y mi profesor era de Peru. Despues, la mayoria de mis pacientes de farmacia son mexicanos!
Ahh, Dora. Not since the hay days of Sesame Street has a show brought samll Spanish phrases into the vocabulary of our preschoolers.
Come on, vamanos! Everybody "LET'S GO!"
Since I've changed jobs, I no longer have to watch good ole Dora EVERY DAY. Only occasionly when someone pops in "Dora~Fiesta" do I get the honors.
It was cute watching my little babies say "Pack-pack! Pack-pack!"
