Thanksgiving Break

We had a very full fun week with the Iowa Pulleys visiting!
Dan, Kaitlyn, Will, Ben, Julie, Abby, Lydia, Aubrey
Came in Sunday and we biked the loop in Coles, thanks to some neighbors for lending bikes.
A beautiful day! Also played new (Piggy Piggy) and old (Uno, Euchre) and vintage (Twister) games at home.
Monday: Space Center Houston

I think they're ready for the next mission to space!

Tuesday: hiked around Brazos Bend State Park and found 30+ alligators.

They got really good at spotting them-there's 3 here!

5'1''


Aubrey touching a baby alligator
so cute!

Checking the time ☀️
So many amazing Live Oak trees for climbing (Abby)
and bouncing!
Aubrey couldn't wait to jump in the pool after a hot walk around Brazos.
Will took his time, but made a big splash!

Welcome to the F3 fam, Elote (Dan)!
 Lip Sync Battle: Kids Vs Adults had us rolling.

Chicken Nuggets. That's all I'll say.

Wednesday: shopping at Old Town Spring
Will got football cards, Lydia got a plant, etc and a lunch at Loose Caboose.
We weren't Turkey, we all did the Turkey Trot in less than an hour and got a medal.

Now time to cook a turkey.
Everyone was a big help. Over dinner, we read all the Turkey Box entries of things we're thankful for.
As competitive as they are, Will & Aubrey tied and were named Turkey King & Queen 2025.
Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Halloween

Pirate

Trunk or Treat

Queen of Hearts

 Glad they still have fun on Halloween! It was nice to know the names of some new neighbors from the block party a week prior when we went around trick or treating.

On a beautiful fall day in La Crscent, MN (across the river from La Crosse, WI)




It was great to catch up with family from IL, IA, WI and GA that we haven’t seen in many years!

Stop at Mall of America because it’s just 6 minutes from the airport.

Greetings from Springfield 
Aw, Homer’s so sweet… Not

But he knows where to get a good donut!

Caught the Blues Brothers ride in around the corner and perform.
The Gringotts Ironbelly Dragon is perched atop the bank in Diagonal Alley and breathes fire!

We rode the train between US and IOA from platform 9 3/4 through a brick wall

Making mayhem like minions do


 We left at 5 pm to fly home exhausted. The teens were happy 😀
