Asheville, North Carolina

We are thinking about moving to Asheville, NC. We took a family trip up to check things out and to start the ball rolling on looking for land. We made it a fun vacation as well.

We drove the entire first day. In the morning of the second day we opted for a drive out on the Blue Ridge Parkway.

We stopped and went hiking on some trails.

We had a lot of fun looking at the nature.

A real BIG bumblebee!

I never once asked to be picked up and carried! I was having so much fun with all the nature.

We took a little break on a log.

The air was kind of chilly. I wished I had a jacket!

What a view. I think I could TOTALLY live here! 🙂

I think we were all smiling at the fun we were having!

Daddy and Emmerson were here too! Emmerson got to “ride” instead of hike. Maybe next time! 🙂

Next we stopped at a nature center. We went on a hiking trail that was educational. We learned all about a portable saw mill. Then we found a cool old engine! 🙂 I got to ring the bell… DING DONG!

Next we went to a trout farm. They had huge rows of trout in various sizes of growth.

I liked watching them all splish and splash around

We even got to throw in food for them. I think Emmerson ate some of it!

Our last stop was at a little river to go wading. The water was FREEZING (to me at least). Mommy rolled up my pants and sent me in to play.

Soon, I forgot it was cold and was having a blast! 🙂

TA DA!

Then my pants were wet so I figured, hey why not! I just went in deeper! 🙂

I spent a while building a wall with the big rocks. Emmerson and Mommy raced leaves in the current.

All was well until I shared a rock with Emmerson and then opted to share another right on top of his hand while it was on the first rock. His finger got cut open and bruised. That was the end of that!

Prnicess on Ice

Mommy took me to see Disney Princess on Ice tonight. Daddy stayed home with Emmerson. It was a fun special date. I suckered Mommy into popcorn, an shaved ice, and shared cotton candy! Plus I got a dragon spinner that lights up. I liked the show but it was loud and my hands were over my ears the entire time! 🙁 I was exhausted by the end as it was 2 hours past my bedtime. I fell asleep on the way home.

Reading??

I am really enjoying reading my “Bob books”! Today I got through the first box! I read everything by myself! 🙂 As a treat I earned a gumball machine! 🙂 How cool! I am liking reading! It gives me a chance to have special time with Mommy and Daddy and to enjoy new stories on my own as well!

VPK Nightmare

Let’s just say Mommy and Daddy were NOT pleased with the school they sent me to this year. After two weeks they pulled me out and have now enrolled me back at the same school I was at last year. There was a lot of bad at the old school. The teacher just wasn’t capable of handling strong willed children nor keeping organization in the classroom. Before things got really bad Mommy and Daddy just opted for the change back to the ECC at TAS.

So I get a week off before I start my new (old) school! We are thinking VACATION! 🙂

Growth Spurt?

Mommy is wondering of a 4 year old boy can have TWO growth spurts in 4 months? My socks don’t fit anymore and all my t-shirts seem too short. Not to mention the mammoth eating session I had last night (1 pb&j full size, 1 just jelly half , 1 PB& nutella full size, yogurt, 16 oz of chocolate milk, 2 slices of cinnamon toast and pistachios!)
