July 2016. Time for Summer Vacation!

It's time to go to North Carolina again! We get so excited for this vacation! Aunt Gerry said that you had grown taller! Aunt Gerry bought you a lightning bug flashlight. She also bought us tickets for the Grasshoppers baseball game. The game was on Independence Day, July 4. We had so much fun eating hot dogs and blue snow cones! I was a little worried about the fireworks because you had never watched a big fireworks show before, and it was going to be very loud! You loved it and Mommy had worried for nothing! Jenna and Matt spent the 4th in Chicago, and we would see them in a few days.

The next day, we drove out to the country to meet Aunt Gerry's friends, Miss Kay and Mr. Les. They took us to a tractor festival, and we loved it! We ate funnel cakes and ice cream! You actually milked a cow, rode on a train, and drove on a tractor with Miss Kay! What a great day for us!

Jenna and Matt are back from Chicago, and up to the mountains we go! We all looked for gems in Blowing Rock and went to Mast General in Valle Crucis! We all had a bottle of Peach Soda, and thought it was the most delicious soda ever! You played putt-putt golf with Jenna and Matt, and climbed the climber at the Rec Center. Aunt Gerry took all of us to Kilwin's for ice cream. She bought you the coolest tee shirt with seven scoops of ice cream! Mommy bought you a red snowboard shirt from Fred's on Beech Mountain. We wish our family vacation would last forever! We are blessed!
