A Week of Thanksgiving Fun

The weekend before Thanksgiving was surprisingly quiet, so Mike had the brilliant idea of going on a walk together. It was such a brisk, beautiful morning and we all had a lovely time just enjoying the day.

Since Dane was off school the entire week of Thanksgiving, I had to come up with a few things to do or mama was gonna go nuts! First, the kids and I met with some other mommies and kids at the Daily News Cafe for some breakfast and chit chat. It was actually pretty nice because we were outside and had a big table. The kids ate like crazy (okay, so did I), so we headed down the street to a little grassy area by the beach for them to get out some energy. Other than Dane chasing a ball into the busy street and giving us all a heart attack that would last for days, it was a very nice, relaxing day!

The day before Thanksgiving the kids and I picked up granddad and headed to the San Diego Zoo. It's always a lovely time at the zoo and the boys loved having their granddad there. I think the main event was the reptile area. We spent a lot of time there checking out the lizards, snakes and turtles. Good times:)





The beautiful view of the ocean.

Dane wanted to walk on the wall...that lasted about 5 seconds.


Ryan was also not amused.

Who am I?



The boys are wrestling while Alana checks out her diaper.

Breakfast time!





November 25 and it's so beautiful!


Getting ready for the zoo. Alana was not happy wearing shoes. Ha!

 
Ryan let me know pretty firmly he did NOT want to sit near the gorilla statue for a picture. 



This guy was huge! And just "stood" there like that for a long time.






The Condor's wingspan is amazing!




It was a bit loud for Ryan.


Mikey's favorite animal!







Not tired at all.



Look at those cute jammies!
