On our way... (finally updated)


Heading to the mountains now to enjoy the Woolly Worm Festival and possibly see a few snow showers...

Pictures and update of our time to follow!
......................................................................

Well, it was indeed a cold ride up the mountain. Actually, the ride up the mountain was pleasant...we were in the car, with heat and NPR's Wait, Wait Don't Tell Me! So it was very nice.

But the weather was cold. And snowy. But we didn't let that stop us. Oh no! We went to see woolly worms, by George, and that's what we did!!

I couldn't believe the turn out, even with the cold and snow flurries. I was briefly feeling like a bad mother for taking my Niblet out, but my mind was quickly put to rest when we ran into a friend from the local coffee shop who made rather short work of my concerns:


Me: Christa, am I bad and selfish for bringing her out? I mean, she seems to be enjoying herself. (Insert one Niblet kicking and laughing at Christa and her kiddos.)

Christa: Hell no!! She's having fun. And nevermind she's warmer than you right now with you wearing her around! (Goes back to playing with the Niblet and ignoring me. Do I even exist anymore??)

I did find the vendor from last year and made good on my promise to get the baby a hand crocheted jacket with a long, pointed Zelda hood. I have a few pictures of us, but thought you'd enjoy seeing what the view looked like, snow/frost topped mountains and colorful leaves.

It's not the weather; it's the people. The people have the germs!!! :). Your friend's right. She's all snuggly warm. I want to see the crocheted jacket, too.

Don't know K but she is right-- it's those crazy people who touch your kid's hands that have the germs!!! Can you tell that I am a germophobe??? :)
