Watch out, Turkeys!

Miles's class had a Thanksgiving feast a few days before the holiday. He chose to be a Native American because he knew the pilgrims would wear black garbage bags. He and his friend Patrick were the narrators for the show, then the kids had a feast together.

For Thanksgiving break we traveled to Memphis to visit the family. We got to celebrate with both of the kids' great grandmothers. GG Crosby turns 96 in December, but we won't be back for the party. GG claimed the kids as her seat neighbors, and Miles claimed Aunt Megan as his seat buddy.

On the way to Memphis we stopped in Jackson for lunch with GG Kremser. She'll be 96 next September. How blessed the kids are to have these two women in their lives, both still going strong nearing the century mark.

Friday we took the kids to the Enchanted Forest at the Pink Palace Museum. It's a path through a snowy forest filled with magical woodland creatures and elves helping Santa prepare for Christmas. It has been around for over 50 years, although it's no longer in its intimate cave-like home at downtown Goldsmiths. While it didn't seem as enchanting as I remembered it, the kids loved it!
