Hello Friends,
As many of you, too, are scurrying around to prepare a lovely holiday of thanks on Thursday, I thought I'd take a moment to post some pictures from our weekend and wish you a lovely Thanksgiving. As I do not plan to post again until next week, I'll try to make this one count. *wink*
First up, some pictures, especially for those precious family members who read my blog. (  you)
Here we are, all five of us, in front of a giant fireplace at Bass Pro on Saturday up at Lake Michigan.
Although the kids "know", they did not want to pass up a chance to talk to the big guy.
We had a truly delicious lunch at the restaurant located inside Bass Pro, a big treat.
Next, we attended a lecture on Indiana ship wrecks at Indiana Dunes State Park. You may be surprised to know we even have a ship wreck in our history. I know I was! They pulled this 2 ton propeller up from the wreck.
The weather was unusually perfect for beach combing. We gathered from the many smooth, flat rocks and attempted to skip them, some more successful than others. We wrote messages in the sand with sticks and marveled how a month of non-stop rain changed the beach in the last month since we last visited. Jeff and Grace climbed a huge sand dune. We finished our day with some steamy, dreamy, creamy hot chocolate.
Yesterday after church, we put up the tree as promised.
Grace is sporting her new, ladies size 8 shoes! (She is only 10!  )
I am looking forward to the week ahead. We plan to take Wednesday off to prepare. My goal is to have 2 really packed school days before then.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Jenn
