Thanksgiving 2010

On the road....

This is my view.











We are on our way to north GA. Mom and dad are there. Jonathon, Julie, and kids are a bit ahead of us. Hoping for a restful and rejuvenating time combined with a lot of family memories. There's a lot waiting at 'home' for us, but this time away will be invaluable.

Sunday in RI

LOVING the leaves!

She insisted on wearing the hood.

(Note: The "Munroe Dairy" box behind RCA is where their milk is delivered every week. I just love little neat things like that.)

Overlooking Providence.

A & K did some shopping. Rea and I did some playing at REI.

Still wearing the hood....

She wanted to try on the bike helmets.

This one was my favorite...it matched her pants.

"Cheese"

Finishing the evening with a greasy dinner and milkshakes at Johnny Rockets.

More from RI...

RCA's first bath in a bear claw tub. Fancy!

Big Times in a Little State

Things I learned while in Rhode Island...


*I should be using a container for food scraps to put in a compost pile.

*Their tap water tastes REALLY good.

*I use a lot of plastic and not that much glass.

*I shouldn't take my weekly recycling at the end of the driveway for granted.

*Dark colors are the only way to go in the fall.

*Garage door openers are not as common as I thought. (Do they even work on solid wood doors?)

*2 year olds from Florida enjoy shuffling their feet through piles of fallen leaves.

*I can fly alone with my 2 year old.

*Milk in a glass jar delivered to your back door taste fabulous!

*It can snow the first weekend in November.

*"Old" is relative. (Is that the right word?)

*Not everyone cleans their veggies before eating. :)

*I love how God pairs us with spouses that balance us so perfectly!

*Although the iPhone camera might be convenient, the pictures are sub par.


Events from our first day in Rhode Island...

Traveled during nap time...quickly losing control.

Fading...

Traveling wore her out.

No matter how big she gets...nothing is sweeter than watching her sleep. (Yes...she still has a pipe when she sleeps. Yes, she is too big for one. No, she will not have it forever.)

Doing this puzzle by herself.

Enjoyed Mr. Andrew. He was so good with her.

Day two.

First time blow drying my hair.

It was cold, but the change of scenery was good.

We visited a super cool farmer's market in an old mill. Loved it!

We walked around the corner from their house to a yummy pizza joint.

Rea and I tried our hand at some Wii playing.

Andrew (and Rea some) made a huge chocolate chip cookie in a pan(?) skillet(?)...not sure what to call it.

Delicious!

We ended the second night with pillow rides.
