Thanksgiving

Besides the three wild turkeys (Jacob, Ella, and Greyson!), we saw dozens of real wild turkeys, about a dozen deer, tons of wild birds, hawks, owls, an armadillo, and a vast array of road kill (opossoms, hogs, deer, armadillos, coyotes...).


The kids played blocks. Sort of. Mostly Jacob built things and Ella and Greyson waited patiently to knock them all down. This made Jacob growl and roar, but he was restrained enough not to hit, even after the 200th time. The kids loved playing outside and took lots of walks to the river. Our little geologists loved chunking rocks everywhere. Jacob wanted to feed the birds all day long.

Jacob insisted calling everyone by Sesame Street names the entire time. Uncle Mike was Oscar, of course.


Space saving idea...

No, Yankees, it's not snow. It's cotton!

Never a dull sunset...
