Thanksgiving was a little different and very relaxed for us ~ we had absolutely nowhere we had to be until suppertime. What a welcome respite in our very busy life. We decided to go to IHOP for pancakes and then go to the Botanical Gardens. Every year the Botancal Gardens does a very elaborate train display and I really wanted Henry to see it. Henry has been getting interested in trains lately and I knew all the trains would be exciting to him. Henry was so excited he could hardly contain himself. He tried to climb up to the trains, he darted around from train to train, and once he got so excited he just dropped to his knees and stared. Lydia and Trixie also had a lot of fun with their grandparents who came along and looking for hidden shapes and figures from a scavenger hunt that the Botanical Garden put together. Our trip was a big success!
Later in the day we went to grandparents house where Brent's brother's family came into town and Henry got to meet them for the first time. He met his 3 yr. old first cousin, aunt, and uncle and had a grand old time. Henry does not know a stranger and he immediately took a shine to his relatives. Henry followed his cousin around and laughed a lot. It was a great day and I'm thankful for it!
