Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving! Wishing everyone lots of yummy food, drink and time with family and friends!! Since we're celebrating southern-style this year, we continued the warm weather adventures yesterday after Sam's nap by heading up to the pool in my parent's complex. Sam has never been in a pool, but after Tuesday at the beach, we had an inkling that she might like it! And she did. She had a great old time, splashing around and kicking in the water. Who would have thought it?!


Pool fun

Come on in, the water's fine!

The pool was followed up by a yummy dinner out, with Sam walking around and entertaining everyone. What fun. We got Sam all dressed up, but since the child will not sit still, we didn't get any many good "dress up" photos. Oh well. She did look cute, though :-)

Headed out to dinner

Yes, she is wearing sneakers with her dress. What can I say? That's my girl!

This morning, we lazed around the house as the turkey cooked and got things ready for Thanksgiving dinner. Ryan went out for his long run, and after I put Sam down for her nap, I went out for a short run with my cousin Sean. We ran down the road to the gravel path along the property's edge and back, getting in four very flat miles. Sean wanted to run as few steps on pavement as possible, and I can't say that I blame him. We had fun chatting as we ran along, and burned off a few of the calories at least! Thanksgiving dinner was delicious, and it was nice to be able to spend the day with family. We all came away feeling pleasantly stuffed, so between dinner and pie, we headed up to the playground so that the kids could burn off a little steam after sitting nicely at the dinner table. A great day for sure!



Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
