Thanksgiving 2012. Part 2

To continue our Thanksgiving fun ... we ate a lot. Everyone made something for thanksgiving day and let me tell ya, mmmmm it was good. I ate leftovers for days.  We went for walks, rode bikes and enjoyed the beautiful landscape. The weather was excellent as well.

We decided to do a little exploring on Friday and went to a little train station. When you have 18 people you are kind of limited on your activities, but we bought some tickets and went for a little ride. It was really cute to see all the kids faces. They loved it. I love to see my kids get excited when we do things like this. Plus it was fun to see all the adults squish into the tiny train :)

Too Cool

 After the train we unloaded and walked across the street to a little park. The kids had a blast running all around like loonies. After that fun ran its course, we loaded into the van to see if we could find another adventure. We did. We found a  "pond" that was on the side of the river, where you couldn't fish. Since we didn't want to disturb the fishermen with our crazy lot. It was fun. A rock skipping contest ensued and all the brothers (except Seth) tried their best to out skip one anther. It was good entertainment.
