WOW -- Last week was VERY exciting. Sunday Night was mom's birthday, Mond
ay was Halloween
and Wednesday we visited the county fair!!! I was so tired I had to go to bed at 6 pm on Saturday night. This was the first year I could do any rides at the fair. I had a good time doing the teacups with Mom and the carouse
l with Dad. I also liked riding the race cars with Parker and going down a GIANT slide. We only got a good picture of Parker coming off the slide -- I
was too fast!! I went down the slide on a burlap sack in Dad's lap about 8 times! Parker liked playing some of the carnival games and won a toy for me by throwing darts. I also enjoyed sitting on the tractors and seeing the animals. The firemen even gave me a fire hat at the end.
We had a great time at the Hurricanes Game Saturday night in spite of their "thrashing" by the Atlanta Thrashers. Sky enjoyed the noise, waving the flag, eating popcorn and touring RBC Arena. She also learned to say "Let's Go Canes" and another phrase about the ref's ability that we will not repeat here. She didn't get to bed until after 10:30 making it her latest night ever! She enjoyed the hotel, an Embassy Suites in Raleigh enormously. Living in Wilmington an elevator is a novely for bot
h kids and this hotel has a glass elevator viewing the hotel's atrium. Parker is a dedicated Hurricanes fan and didn't lose faith even after numerous goals by the opposition. He was VERY HAPPY to be at the game. He got to be on the tv monitor in the center of the arena twice! Sky made it on once. We had fantastic seats on the 11th row center ice and could see all the action.
