Thanksgiving trip

We hopped in the car again to see some friends of ours, Julie & Dan and their three kiddos: Nicholas (4 1/2), Evelyn (2 1/2), and Caroline (8 months). We were able to spend Thanksgiving with them & had a FABULOUS dinner. The kids got along great (okay, well they did after a couple of days of NOT getting along so great!), and the adults had lots of time to catch up due to Julie & Dan's HUGE basement play area. Here is a pic of the kids playing with Mr. Dan. He taught them to sit in a circle with their feet touching so this "crazy motorcycle", as William calls it, could bounce around inside:

Here are a couple of shots of the kids at their Thanksgiving dinner (us smart adults ate after they were done!):

The kids even got to see some outside time as the weather hit the upper 40's most days we were there. Here is a snap of William climbing up one of the rock walls at the park in Julie & Dan's neighborhood, as well as a picture of William & Nick belly-crawling through their magical tunnel (i.e., bike rack for those of you without any imagination!!):

And, finally, we capped our trip off with a visit to The Durham Museum , which had some pretty neat train displays (note the ones of the kids sticking their heads out of the windows of the old train car) and also a spectacular holiday show that included the lighting of a huge Christmas tree. **Click this picture to see all the pics from the museum!**
