We’re already almost two weeks past Thanksgiving, and here I am still writing about it! Blogging gets hard during the holidays… there’s so much to blog about, but so little time to actually write it all!
Anyway, the day after Thanksgiving, we headed down to Michael’s parents’ home for our second celebration involving turkey! 🙂
Jeff and Lelia came too! The boys got to work on their multitasking- peeling potatoes while making the goofiest faces possible. I think they pretty much nailed it.
We had a delicious dinner… I’ll admit it, I can never resist eating an extra homemade roll (or two) on Thanksgiving.
Dad was working some long hours for the outage, so we didn’t get to see him for too long, but it was enough time to goof off with his grandbabies. 
Grandpa makes her giggle.
Don’t worry, there were lots of calm cuddles from Grandma, too.
The next morning (Saturday), we slept in (yes, you read that right… amazing), and headed over to the ferry to feed the seagulls. Kaya was so excited to ride on a boat.
She loved throwing pieces of bread through the gate and would laugh and squeal when the birds caught them (especially if they plunged down into the water).
My mom-in-law can get the birds to take the bread directly from her hand!
After getting off the ferry, we thought we’d just turn around, get right back on, and head home… but the line was long, so we decided to try out one of the playgrounds in Jamestown instead. It was the biggest playground I’d ever been on… and probably the coolest.
I mean, any playground that has a boat to play in has to be ranked pretty high on the awesomeness scale.
We spent some time just enjoying the unseasonably warm weather.
And the very coolest part of this park was the huge ZIPLINE! Kaya surprised us all and went on it twice!
After about 40 minutes or so, we headed back to the ferry. Kaelyn actually stayed awake for the ride home and loved looking at the birds for the first time.
Simple outings like these oftentimes turn out to be my favorites. I love seeing the wonder and joy of the world through my children’s eyes.
