Part 2

As I'm looking at all the pictures I took, I realize that this may end up being spread over 3 or 4 posts ;-)

The first night, we visited a favorite - The Apple Barn.  The food was very yummy, but unfortunately, the shops were closed because it was later on a Sunday evening. 

When we got back to the hotel, it was time for "Quiltin' Annie". She was a very good story teller and really kept the kids attention (even Jack).

 

 As she was telling a story, she asked for a volunteer, none of the other little girls were interested, but our shy little lady jumped right up!

 

 And she got this pin cushion for a prize!

 We then learned to quilt :-)

  And now it's time for the Santa Update!
We knew that Santa was going to be at the hotel and talked a little to Zoe about him. We told her we would like to have a picture of her and Jack with him. We said she did't have to talk to him or even sit on his lap. At first, she said she wouldn't do it but once it was our turn, she shyly walked up to him. Earlieer we had talked about what she could ask him, so she asked if he woanted to go swimming with us. She still wouldn't sit on his lap or tell him what she wanted, but these pictures show a big accomplishment!

 Santa wasn't able to come swimming, but we still went! Well, actully, Ryan and Zoe swam while Jack and I watched.
