Hey---I’m back! After a brief interlude of insanity, otherwise known as a busy life, the blog is back online. We had a wonderful Thanksgiving, although, if you read Tara’s blog, you will already know that there were some less than favorable moments. We’ve had a family tradition for years of camping on Thanksgiving. Well, when we first started camping, we would be one of 25 or so tent campers in camp ground. There might be 3 RVs. Now camping is like pitching your tent in a trailer park. We were subjected to extremely loud and very bad sounding karaoke and drunken football revelry. I’m not sure what we’re going to do next year but if anyone knows where we might go to tent camp in a serene area where we might enjoy the sounds of nature, you know, birds and stuff, let us know! The little ones enjoyed themselves, poor little things didn’t know that bad karaoke is NOT part of the camping experience. Anyway, it was Tabitha’s first Thanksgiving and she loved sharing it with her nieces and nephews (as long as they didn’t try to ride her Care Bears scooter). We all had many things to be thankful for, our family, health, and the good fortune not to actually BE drunken redneck karaoke singing RVers (just be camped near them).
Now to get ready for Christmas. Another first for Tabitha! Our tree is up and just waiting for little hands to decorate the bottom half. Tonight we’re off to the city’s Festival of Lights celebration and hope to get some pictures of Hopers and Noodle in the parade.
