Thanksgiving Fun

We took a 2 week Thanksgiving adventure south to visit family in Jersey and PA. Our first stop was to see Nana and Pop-Pop. They took us to the "Please Touch" Museum in Philadelphia which as a HUGE Success! There were way too many great pics to share them all, but here are a few:






What a great time!

Our next stop was the McLaughlin Family Thanksgiving festivities. Here are a few pics of the whole crew:


(Mammie in 7th Heaven with all five grandkids. She didn't quite have enough hands.) I just love this picture of Roarke - He is such a cutie!


(Grandpa - AKA Bumpa to Abby.) They have a great bond. :)

And here are snapshots of my siblings and their families:


(Although to be fair, Rugar is missing.)





While we visited Aunt Amanda and my side of the family, we rented a cabin to stay in with Sarah, Josiah and Abigail. As you can probably guess, the sleeping arrangements, while fun for the kiddos, left us with slightly less sleep than we would have ideally wanted. In the end the cabin was a lot of fun and the kids all had a blast!



(You can almost hear the giggles... :)

The three oldest cousins had a sleep-over one night at Aunt Amanda's and enjoyed a hot breakfast together in the morning. (Notice my child is the ONLY one chowing down a chocolate donut...)




We spent Thanksgiving Day at Great Grammie Tuthill's. Here is a shot of the 4 generations:



The kiddos kept things "interesting." Lexi put on a performance in her Rock'n new Tutu. (A birthday present from Aunt Jessica.) Although I'm not sure we ALL enjoyed her vocal styling equally...



... And Aunt Jessica gave Cameron A LOT of "Running Hugs"






Before we left Nana and Pop-Pop took Cameron to the Aquarium. He didn't want to get too close to the shark's teeth though...



We had a great time everywhere we went! What a fun way to spend a vacation! It was so good to see everyone again ... We miss you all already!
