Thanksgiving part 1

It's time to go home for Thanksgiving! While Daddy finished his last day of school the boys helped me get everything packed up and ready.

 Such a good little smiler.

 The car ride there went really well. First stop was Matt's family's place.  Matt spent all the time he could hunting. We spent a day with Mary & her family and a day with Rebecca also. We had so much fun! It was great to be with our cousins again!

 Heath swiped my camera and snapped this picture of Julia. It's pretty hilarious!

 Houston really liked growling at Rebecca's cat and piggy.

 So much play makes for some tired boys!

 Heath got really good at riding grandma's scooters. I was really impressed.

 The boys watched the chickens for about an hour. They just loved it. Especially Houston.

 Heath was digging up dirt to feed to the chickens.

 He'd put it on the little hoe head he found and carry it in to their pin to sprinkle on the ground for them.

 Grandma's tarantula Rosie was also super fun to watch.

and her salamanders.

 Houston figured out how to use the slide all on his own. He spent almost the whole hour we were there going up and down. He loved his new found freedom.

 I absolutely love this picture! They're so happy.

 Heath loves the alligator park as he calls it.
