We Are Thankful (part 2)

Back to Thanksgiving...

Since everyone had to check out of their timeshares on Friday we decided to celebrate Thanksgiving a day early. With our assignments in hand we set to work. After a some serious deliberations about who had the most room we decided that our timeshare had the best layout and we would host.

We had a delicious spread and even better company.

I didn't get a group pic of all of us - but here is part of the crew. L-R: Frank, Christian, Lucy, Vernie, Robyn (Austin's girlfriend), Austin, Callan (Austin's friend that just moved from PA.)

The day after fake Thanksgiving -- uh, so basically real Thanksgiving, we celebrated with a good old fashioned 3 mile Turkey Trot. While my Dad, Mel and Maile "trotted" and finished at a reasonable time, my mom and I were stuck with the Kira and Nikos, the scenic crew.

Here's the our walk in pictures.

After our walk and some naps the kids went to the Kids Club for the Thanksgiving Day crafts.

Turkey hats!

The cousins by the lobby tree.

On the back of the turkey feathers they kids were asked to write what they were thankful for. Here are their lists - Nikos': Kira, Maile, Mason, Olive, Marco and Dada. Olive's: a fox, a birdie, a turkey, Baby, Mommy, an eyeball.

Ha.

Thanksgiving night the kids modeled their pjs.

And..roadtrip home.

Until next year!
