Woolwine OctoberFest

This weekend we joined my Papa, Grandma (Gigi), Aunt Connie, Cousins Angie & Walter, and Angie's little ones at the Woolwine Octoberfest.  The festival is a fund raiser for the local fire department.  The events include apple butter making, bean bag toss (that's cornhole for you adults), toe-tapping Bluegrass music, and yummy homemade food/treats. 

I was worried that the large crowd would intimidate Katie and she wouldn't get off my lap the entire time.  As always - she's 100% unpredictable.  When other kids are around, she is much more brave than normal.  I was shocked!  She spent all day chasing her older cousins around - especially Allie.  They ran, played, danced, ate - then did it all again.  Katie even danced on the stage in front of everyone....pretty amazing for a kid who is "scared of people."


One my favorite parts of being back in Roanoke is that we get to see Katie's cousins on my mom's side of the family more often.  My grandmother was especially pleased.  With the crazy schedules we all have, it can be difficult to get everyone together.  On Saturday, Gigi had time to watch all 3 of her great-granchildren play together - and spend time with each of them.  A pretty special day!
