The Past Week

I feel like it has been forever since my last post. Here are some of the fun things we have done in the last 10 days:
Dylan had the week of Thanksgiving off from school and we were having beautiful weather. I took the kids to the beach and we had a great time.

Maggie chasing the seagulls. The birds stole Maggie's sandwich and string cheese when I left her on the blanket--and when I say stole I mean that they swarmed and almost took Maggie with them.

Dylan washing his sea shell collection.
For Thanksgiving we drove to Heather and Jeff's in Indiana. It was a long drive, but was worth it. Heather took us to the Indianapolis Zoo while we were there. It was the perfect time of year to go--no crowds!
Here are some pictures from the zoo:

The kids in the dolphin viewing tunnel. They even had a dolphin show!

Auntie Heather trying to stay warm! (See the lion in the background?)

Dylan showing off his hot chocolate goatee!


Dylan and Aunt Holly enjoying the train.
For some reason we only got zoo pictures while we were on our trip.
Many thanks to Aunt Heather and Uncle Jeff for the great time!
We love spending time with family and we truly have an awesome family!
Here are a couple of pictures from the last few days:

Maggie found an apple in the fridge-she spent about an hour eating it and she only finished half!

Dylan has been bugging me for the last couple of days to get out the Christmas tree.
He was a very good helper!

Looks like you had a fun Thanksgiving! You're brave to go to the zoo in the cold....I'm too much of a wimp...we were in West Virginia for a week and I couldn't wait to head south again!!
