From the moment Daddy reviewed the Fountain Square schedule of events months ago, he knew he had to go to the 2nd annual Turkey Bowl. Armed with canned goods for a donation, he and Gigi headed downtown. The event took place on the ice rink. The object was simple - roll a frozen turkey across the ice and knock down bowling pins to win a prize. Daddy complained that the pins were too far apart. Genevieve said she did not want to throw a turkey, but changed her mind. She was interviewed as the youngest person to participate.
When it was her turn, she discovered that she could not lift the turkey. She and Daddy did it together. When she described the event to me and Aunt Lizzy, she referred to it as "turkey toss." A much better name, don't you think?
Mommy's big excitement came in the evening. Gigi FINALLY got her first haircut - only a year and a half late! She went to Avalon Spa & Salon. Her stylist was Debbie. Her manicurist was Kelly.
She was very excited, but serious about the experience. She had many questions. She was apprehensive about the "sink chair" at shampoo time, but a slight smile could be seen crossing her face as she relaxed a bit during the final rinse. She declared that she looked like a bat when the black smock was put on. She talked Debbie's ear off. She loved the blow-dryer, belly-laughing when Debbie tickled her ear. 
For her nail polish, she selected two colors - pink and orange (salmon) as she had planned from the time she learned she got to have them painted.
Aunt Lizzy came to the salon to see the final result.
