For the first time in years, we traveled this Thanksgiving. Jeff's parents moved closer and so we thought an 8 hr drive over wouldn't be too hard for a long weekend with the kids..well, it never took 8 hrs...but we made it there and home and had a great time with family in between!
Raegan enjoyed spending time with her cousins.
They loved sharing and swapping snacks.
Of course there was football.
And cooking.
The kids table.
The babies at the adult table.
Soaking up the sun.
They wanted a picture but then Raegan got hurt somehow so she wasn't excited about a picture after that.
Frosting ginger snaps for Grandpa's birthday (and we celebrated Jeff in there again too).
More movies and relaxing.
More enjoying the weather in FL.
Grandma and Bode.
Bode loved the stairs at the house. We don't have stairs so she isn't that great with them. She would climb up and then yell at the top until someone came to get her down.
We spent an afternoon out at the beach near Destin.
It was cold so I didn't bring swim suits, but sure enough, my kids still got in the water. They went home in whatever was left that wasn't wet...it wasn't much, but they had a great time.
Grandma and Grandpa Ward with all the grandkids who were there.
Jeff and I even snuck away for a quick dinner where Jeff got to satisfy his craving for oysters. They were good I guess but I like my crab cakes better!
Then the drive home...it took us all day and this poor girl wanted to sleep but couldn't get her head right, so we tried to rig something...it kind of worked. We made it home in one piece and can't wait to go back when it is NOT the busiest traveling day of the year!!
