Thanksgiving

For Thanksgiving this year we drove up to my Grandparent's house in New Braunfels. It was such a nice and relaxing trip and Ryan did great! We spent the first evening in Gruene and ate at the Gristmill, which was delicious. Ryan only took a 20 minute nap on the way to their house, so we were a little worried about him being out at dinner, but he was perfect (maybe delirious from no sleep). Thanksgiving morning we took Ryan down the street to the beautiful park on the river. He, of course, had a blast. My Grandparents live in such a lovely area, as you can see from the pictures below. My Grandma Trudy prepared a fabulous Thanksgiving dinner with all of the traditional food. I think we all ate way too much. Ryan didn't like any of it, but the bread. He is going through a very picky phase right now. We took it easy and rested off our food coma the rest of the day. We had to leave the following day around lunch time. We wish we could have stayed throughout the entire weekend b/c we were having such a great time. Thanks for hosting Thanksgiving Grandma and Grandpa!!

Unfortunately, I forgot my nice camera at home. Can you imagine how amazing these pictures would have been if I had my fast shutter and better camera? I did have my point and shoot in my diaper bag though. But, of course, no charger. It ran out of battery after we fed the ducks, so I didn't get any more pictures from the weekend. I was really disappointed.

His face says it all.

The slides were really fast and he loved them


Such a happy boy

Great Grandma and Grandpa took him to feed ducks.

He decided that he wanted to throw them some bread too

Good throw!

Distracted by a bird I am sure
