We spent Thanksgiving with our wonderful neighbors, the Boyers and Torbits, and their family at Stephen F. Austin park. They know how to cook outdoors! Everything was very good. Most of all, we loved just being with everyone. The kids loved it.
They steamed the turkey.. I think. They had an oven for the pies and stuff, and the dutch ovens for most everything else. We came the morning of Thanksgiving, so I cooked at home and then brought it. More in my comfort zone ;) I made sweet potatoes while we watched The Giver. I LOVE that book. I know it's not an exciting movie, but I love the message behind it, so I loved the movie. I think I'll be buying that one.
They made super hero capes and wore them the whole time.
Lots of tree climbing. The trees have branches that connect like vines. We also played some volleyball. Loved it!
The kids made these cute turkey hats. Liam never keeps anything on very long, but he did make one.
It got colder towards the evening. These little chairs are adorable.
Girls camp songs at night. Lots of smores and a fire. Katelyn is warming up to Stefan!
These two were always together.
To be honest, we slept horrible. Katelyn kept waking up the first night because she would wake herself up by coughing and then couldn't fall asleep. So, she tried sleeping with us, and it didn't work super well. Then, Troy was similar the second night, but he wasn't coughing, he just said his leg hurt. It took a couple of days for me to actually recover from the sleep. BUT everything else was great. I think we will get better at knowing how to help us all sleep better and be better prepared. We would definitely do it again.
