Odds and Thanksgiving-ends

Only way to make it through an early morning soccer game.

For Veterans Day, we took the kids up to the Base to mess around on the rock climbing wall there.
 For some reason, all of the kids would rather free climb than use the harness and ropes. They still got pretty far up on their own though.

 Unless Travis let them swing and then they were all about the harness.

Travis was able to take some time off over Thanksgiving and since we opted not to go out of town this year, we took them down to the Discovery Cube for the day. Travis likes to stay sharp and so practiced his lock picking skills on the way down. Crazy man. Don't tell Peter but he is getting a lock pick set for Christmas too (Travis' eternal mini-me).

 They had a Lego exhibit and of course, my kids were in heaven.


We enjoyed a quiet Thanksgiving Day with just our family enjoying good food. I even got a wild hair and saved all the turkey bits to make several gallons of turkey stock. 

And lastly, Travis and I at his work Christmas party - it's always a good excuse to get fancy especially with a masquerade theme this year.
