Thanksgiving at Mike and Amy's house! Nothing tried, nothing gained.
Cindy, Don, Donald and Scout came up for a visit during our small Thanksgiving break. They arrived Wednesday evening. We enjoyed an accomplished (meaning we completed the dinner, but not chef skilled) turkey dinner of turkey breast, some Real Simple recipe sides, and only managed to break one correlle french white casserole dish in whole process. There could have been much more destruction in the kitchen from me if not for Cindy's help. Our bellies were full and the dishes were all washed and dried.
Friday, we all headed to Presque Isle State Park. We all enjoyed the views, although a bit chilly (only a bit). Bits showed Nana how to throw stones, and use a walking stick. The guys all ventured around, but remained focused on the mission at hand: to catch a fish from the chilly waters where the river meets the Lake. I am happy to report, Mike caught a 21" rainbow. Mike has an assembly line process he thinks would work well: he'll catch the fish, Donald will net it, and Don will clean it (somehow I think Don is getting the short end of the stick).
Later that evening, we reheated the leftovers, and after dinner celebrated Bit's second birthday with a Thomas themed mini party. Bacon loves everything Thomas and was enthralled with his new train toys for the remainder of the night. When he awoke this morning, he ran straight to his train table and said, "Hi Va-va."
It's been alot of fun with family around. We'll try to explore Black River Harbor today and be sad to say goodbye to everyone tomorrow.
