A thankful Thanksgiving week

I must say, I enjoyed my Thanksgiving week tremendously.  I slept until about 7:30am almost every day (what??), had Papa and Nana time, alot of lounge time, great husband time, kid time, cabin time, and friends time.  Although I'm not that excited about going back to work, I think we had a nice little Thanksgiving break that we can look back upon fondly.

Ella, Ryan and I went to the zoo.  I haven't been to Roeding Park since Ella's school field trip, around 3rd or 4th grade.

Ryan remembered bread and we fed the geese/ducks . . . I think we helped Ella overcome her fear of fowl.  She was a little nervous.  You can't tell in the picture, but there were alot of them.

And then we were off to the cabin . . . the ultimate Fall setting for Thanksgiving.  Mike was able to come along.  Again, I failed to take decent pictures.  :(  Movies, homework (Ella and Mike), eating, cards (I learned how to play Gin!), walks, fires, and just good quality time.  It was the best.  :)

The SoCal Edison man said there's already enough water to fill Shaver Lake with water coming from Huntington, Edison, and Florence lakes.  So there will be boating next year!

The welcome wagon.  If this didn't scare you off, I don't know what would.

And now we're home.  A whole day to prepare to face the music Monday.  Down comes Thanksgiving and up goes Happy Birthday decorations.  Next weekend . . . on to SF for a girls birthday excursion with Karen and Kelsey.  Fabulous!!

And for all this, I am truly thankful.  :)
