Thanksgiving in Raleigh with the West's

The Wests have a fire pit outside and we took full advantage of making smores and even the tin foil dinners.
Kate was a big help in decorating the gingerbread houses this year!
We went ot a really fantastic hiking trails area complete with a stream.
Here we all are exept poor Chauncey, I tried to be the one taking the picture, after all it is his family.
Here is said stream.
The boys made thier very own pumpkin pies with Grandma Wests help.


Chauncey was eating baby Georges "dirt".


We drove to Raliegh and arrived there 10 hours later. The kids did the best they have ever done on the trip, even Kate did really well. What a relief! I fear the car with my kids. They don't know how to sit still for very long. I think its much better to be as active as they are rather than not, but in car situations I am not as sure!


We had a great visit with the Bunton's who were also visiting. We did a lot of baseball practice, going to parks, making gingerbread houses, and of course eating! It was a great trip. Thank you George and Ruth!!
