Let the travel log continue!

Here are the final pictures from our trip. We'll start with Thanksgiving...

While the turkey was cooking the kids went to the park. Here they are in Grandpa's truck


Here Joe is showing off the table he and Alli set. The paper chain behind him is a "gratitude chain" we made for FHE. Everyone wrote things we were thankful for on strips of paper and then we glued then together into a chain -- I think we had 100+ things ranging from hot rods to family.


Here is the table all set with the delicious dinner -- oh it was soooo good!


Mom & I put sage leaves under the skin of the turkey before we cooked it -- my dad said it looked like it had some kind of growth under the skin. Men.


A sampling of the desserts -- unlike you Chantel we didn't make 9 pies (we played instead!)


Lily & Rachel had a "girls table" all to themselves -- who needs those boys?

Here are the rest of the rug rats getting ready to chow down. As a nice Thanksgiving touch Will and Barry were in Power Ranger mode.

Kim, Alli & Jen. Alli likes to hang out with the "big girls"

Thom, Chris and Dan are so patient when they are hungry.

On Friday night all the adults went out to eat and good ol' Al stayed home and kept an eye on all the kids.

In case you are wondering what your kids are doing while you are away from home -- here is a sampling of what our kids were doing.






Whew -- did you make it to the end? This is the best picture off all.

Thanks mom for having us -- we had such a great time. We love your guts!
