Aunt Katy and Uncle Tom let me feed Shane, the turtle, lettuce every morning.
We visited their brand-new house, which they get to move into at the end of the month. (It’s so pretty!) I spent a lot of time running up and down their driveway while they took measurements.
While Nini and Mom were on a mission to find Seagrove Pottery, I scored a new school bus (thanks, Nini!). Here I am playing with it and Uncle Tom. Aunt Katy and Uncle Tom bought mom a beautiful pitcher for her birthday.
Then we visited some old cabins and watched how candles used to be made.
Next, the park!
I was promised chocolate ice cream when we left. And I did not forget. I fell asleep on the way home and, after pulling into Katy and Tom’s driveway, I woke up and the first thing I said was, “Choc-o-late ice cream?”
I also managed to score the best seat in the house while watching Monster’s Inc.
Aunt Katy and Uncle Tom cooked lots of yummy meals. I had so much fun that our last night there, I woke up at 4am insisting on playing with Aunt Katy, Uncle Tom, Nini, Luke and Naobi. Mom spent the next two hours trying to keep me quiet and explaining that people like to sleep in the middle of the night, not play.
The trip home was a little rough, but Nini and Mom did their best to keep me happy. All that sitting in the car seat was well worth it, though. Thanks again, Aunt Katy and Uncle Tom!
