It's time for your second vacation, your second trip to Greensboro, NC, to see Aunt Gerry, Uncle Bob, and cousins, Bobby, David, Holly, Matt, and Jenna! This time, Aunt Gerry will take us to the mountains for the Woolly Worm Festival! We love going to Aunt Gerry's, of course, and she is always so happy to see us! Cousin Bobby brought over a few animals for you to see... He helps nurse them back to health, and you got to hold the baby bird, with his help. Aunt Gerry took us to a pumpkin patch, and you got to pick a pumpkin with Matt and Jenna! You absolutely picked the biggest pumpkin in the entire pumpkin patch! Matt could hardly carry it! Matt helped you carve your pumpkin that afternoon in Aunt Gerry's driveway. We all went to see Cousin Holly and Cousin David play kickball, and you loved that, of course! Aunt Gerry and Jenna took you to Build-a-Bear, where Jenna helped you build your black and white puppy! She helped you pick the puppy's music (Frozen) and helped you pick the puppy's name (Pirate "Smee")! Aunt Gerry had a lot of fun helping you dress the puppy in a jack-o-lantern costume! This puppy was your Birthday gift from Aunt Gerry! What fun, Baby! We were able to go see Jenna perform in her class play, Aesop's Fables. Jenna played the Tortoise (from The Tortoise and the Hare). You loved this, and really loved Jenna in her play. We all did... She was amazing and the play was a big success!
On Saturday morning, Aunt Gerry and Matt took us to their house in the mountains! We were going to The Woolly Worm Festival and we could not be more excited! We stopped to get donuts and orange juice for the car trip, on our way out of town! You loved sitting with Matt in the back seat! We stopped for pizza when we got into the mountains, before we went to the cabin. That night, you loved working on puzzles with Aunt Gerry and Matt. You also loved playing with Matt while he was watching his baseball game! He would toss you up in the air, and you could not get enough of that game! The next morning, we all went to breakfast before heading to the festival. Aunt Gerry immediately found a face-painting artist, and you had a beautiful Woolly Worm painted on your face! You got so many compliments on your face-painting because it was so beautiful! We spent the day walking around the festival, eating great foods, and enjoying the sights! Mommy bought you a Woolly Worm Christmas ornament. Aunt Gerry bought you a children's book written and signed by a local artist. You and I read that book a lot! When it was time for the big race, you were so excited! We actually had a hard time finding our worms, because the festival was almost over. Aunt Gerry would not stop, however, until we all had our worms for the big race! It was all just so exciting, baby, and we were all amazed and elated to see your worm come in second place! You won second place, and everyone cheered for you and your woolly worm (Pirate "Smee")! We talked about that race for the rest of our vacation, Baby! We still talk about it! You won a red ribbon, and Aunt Gerry pinned it to your shirt! She bought you a hand-made bug catcher, and you carried your woolly worm around for the rest of our vacation! Holly and Jenna were so excited to hear about the big race, and of course, they loved your face painting! We had so much fun on our vacation to North Carolina!
