For the past 3 years, we've been visiting Neal and Kerrie and family for Thanksgiving. This year was just as fun and memorable.
We started by going to the Ann Arbor Hands-On Children Museum. They had a special Bob-the-Builder exhibit that was so cute.
Here's
Ella's favorite part was definitely the water exploration section.
Same with Gretta and the twinners.
Jed loved the bubble section and
Cyndi got to test her flexibility despite being 8 months pregnant.
Other favorites were the ambulance,
and Kenton and Merrill's foam fort.
They decided to demolish it together on 3, blocks flew everywhere.
We also did a turkey trot Thanksgiving morning. It was a great way to start the day.
All the kids ran, well, Ella rode.
And here is the coolest thing I've seen in a while. Brothers, Kenton and Merrill ran the whole race side by side and decided to tie to first place. What neat kids! And they ran the mile in 5:47!
The rest of Thanksgiving day was eating and juggling. Jed learned to juggle and even the twins got the hang of it, sort of.
The next day was shopping and lights...
The Wayne County Lightfest of 4 miles and over 2 million LED lights.
The arches were the best and Santa loosing his reindeer's heads was a little funny.
Lastly was the tree farm and family pictures.
The best part at the tree farm were the carts.
All the kids got to ride and pull over the hills of Christmas trees.
After MUCH deliberation a tree was decided on and everyone helped to cut it down.
The afternoon ended with fresh apples and genuine hayrides through the firs.
The family Christmas card photo shoot was hilarious. We did get a good one,
But these were my favorites...
Merrill always so stoic, and Hampton...
well he's just a character!
In between the activities were the usual game playing and
Eating of yummy treats!!!
We love this awesome family...
I don't know if we'll make it through Thanksgiving next year since they're moving to Utah. All I know is that the memories from these last 3 Thanksgivings have best so far. We'll miss you crazy 8 Davis'.
