Last weekend we went to Banner Elk with the Gillilands for the Wooly Worm Festival, wondering what the heck to expect...it was interesting and the kids had a great time. We met up with MoMo and Bop at the festival and they were kind enough to purchase a wooly worm for Harding.

| Posing here was the only thing that didn't have a price tag. The boys were happy to oblige. |

| Here is where the worm races take place...they have to crawl up a string. Entering was 5 dollars, so we decided to have our own race later (for free). |

Harding named his wooly worm "Super Speedy". Derek named his "Captain America". When we got home later, Harding and Derek raced their wooly worms and then released them to the wild. Of course each boy thought their wooly worm was the winner...Harding is still talking about how Super Speedy really won. Although the adults were not huge fans of the festival, it was a beautiful weekend to drive through the mountains with friends--the leaves were at their peak and the Gillilands are always fun to be with.
