Fall Happenings

I've been back in school a couple of weeks now, and things are going along just fine. Mom and Dad had a conference with Mrs Jackson and she gave an excellent school report for me. I am a superstar student! It's also fall, and very close to Halloween. One Friday night we went to a fall festival with lots of activities, one of them was carving pumpkins and I also got my face painted! I just can't wait until Halloween, just around the corner!

Track Out Fun!

Mimi and Papa came to visit us the second week of track out! We went to the Museum of Life and Sciences on one day. It was so fun! I got to finally plat at the treehouse playground and climb all the way to the top! And for the first time, all of the animals, including the black bears were awake and moving around for us to watch! Usually they are hiding in the corner and are barely visible. The lemurs were playful and doing so much we watched them for a long time! Another day, we went to the new spray ground in Wake Forest. THAT was super fun! The best part was letting the big bucket of water dump right on your head! Luckily we had perfectly warm September weather to enjoy being out in the water. I'm glad that Mimi and Papa came to spend some time with us during track out. 
The next week we spent a few days relaxing, doing things around the house and Town. One day we went to Sassafras playground and while I did enjoy the zip line as always, this time we enjoyed swinging in the crazy circle swing. There was nobody there, so we pretty much had the place to ourselves!
Later that week, we took off on another short trip to Charleston! We went there to visit with Jessa, Mom's friend from college. She has a son named Sam who we got to me, and there were other families with kids there that kept things fun and entertaining. The beach was so much fun, I didn't want to leave once we got there. My favorite was standing thigh deep in the water and pretending I was Moana, singing about the sea. This time I tried boogie boarding. It was a blast! Once I figured out how it worked, I caught a few small waves. I also enjoyed collecting shells on the beach and taking them back to the front porch where we displayed them on the railing for Jessa's mom. We really had a nice, relaxing track out from start to finish. Going back to school won't be hard at all!
