California Thanksgiving

Dinner was abundant and delicious.  Seeing the family again is something to be thankful for always.

California was rainy on Thursday, but cleared up beautifully on Friday.  The oldest, always active, grandson spent time doing jumps, tail whips, grinds, whatchmacalits (there are other, more correct terms, I know).  He's tall enough that a little basketball with grandpa left grandpa with a small cut under his eyebrow from a collision with a head and his sunglasses.
With grandma and grandpa added to the mix, poor younger brother had to sit in the middle of the back seat.  Trapped together, older brother had good teasing opportunities.  Plenty of silly noises and giggling too from both.
The back yard trampoline provides lots of entertainment.   Seven-year-old wanted a picture of her flips.  I caught a good one.
A couple of walks through the neighborhood helped to stretch our legs and we found lots of fascinating things to examine.
Our visit was over too soon, but they'll be coming our direction after Christmas.  We have a lot to be thankful for.
