Thanksgiving

We went to visit Shane's family for Thanksgiving last week- this year we were able to stay for the week! Papa Gary & Gran had some dirt delivered and made it into a fun play area for the kids. I was unsure of how Austin would do... as he does NOT like getting dirty & was not a fan of the beach when we visited in May. But the boy surprised me- LOVED IT.

At the top (he loved climbing up and then sliding down!)


The play area with swings, slide, dirt & lots of trucks and toys to dig in the dirt


No fear

DIRTY and ready for a bath


On Thanksgiving day we had our traditional meal over at Paw Paw & Maw Maw's house! We ate lunch and then stayed around to visit for a while. It was a bad football day for us, so we won't talk about that.

Our family photo- the best we could get with the kid who doesn't like cameras

We had a great visit & I know Austin is looking forward to his next trip to play in the dirt!
