It was a good month of giving thanks! It was also a good month to be thankful for marching season! This was the last one, and it was over in November, so we really enjoyed the end of this wonderful activity that has been such a big part of our lives the last 4 years!! Anton found a thing on the internet to write drumline cadences on...
He was in a parade in Kingwod - I have no idea what it was for. I think this was actually at the end of October.
My dad and stepmom came in town the beginning of November to catch a football game.
It was a cold night!
They really enjoyed the drumline.
Cute random picture of Emma drawing. :)
I don't know what was going on here, but I thought it was a funny picture.
Anton's litle brother Sean spent the day with us, and we all went to the science museum (all except Anton who stayed home to study). Sean wanted to do this spinning thing. He came out smiling and not throwing up so it was a success!!
We went in the butterfly exhibit. The kids were chasing the butterflies.
Some butterfies landed on me. The kids were jealous.
Climbing on the sundial outside...
Elaine taught the girls how to play angry birds on her phone the next day.
Emma wanted to read a book to Junior. I thought her choice was funny!
Watching TV.
We cooked one night.
We played poker after the girls went to bed. Elaine cleaned us all out!
For some reason Anton put his letter jacket on the girls. Made cute pictures!!
KPHS played in the Veteran's day parade downtown.
Anton's very last high school game ever was in Brenham for a play off game. The girls enjoyed some hot chocolate.
Last time in the stands...
on the field...
and doing the drumline thing... It was a nice end to his high school marching experience! We will sure miss this next year!!!
We decided to stay in a hotel since we were so late leaving the game and we planned to continue on to Warda for camping the next day. It seemed like a better plan than setting up a tent at midnight. The girls started out like this. I was scared Emma was going to fall out of the bed. Sure enough we heard a big thud followed by crying around midnight. I put Emma in bed with me with some pillow on the other side, and Tony slept with Anna. She stayed in bed, but she sure does roll around a lot.
My van's first camping experience!!
There's a horse there. Noboy rides him, but the girls had lots of fun talking to him and feeding him apples and carrots.
They liked hanging out at the dock and fishing for algae.
The guy who runs the place has a really sweet dog who visited us a lot. The girls LOVED her!
They also have longhorns. And they serve burgers. And they have really great mountain biking trails. I love this place!!
We went for a starlight walk. This may be the last time this backpack gets used...
Wrestle-mania in the tent.
They had a fun hammock too.
Anna and Emma had a Thanksgiving party at school.
Mr. Gary kept all the kids entertained while they waited for their Chick-fil-a to show up. I love how I was able to get both girls in the frame nicely!
The next day, my friend Amy came and got Anna to go hand out cookies with her buddy Abby. They were at our church giving them to the people who came to get Thanksgiving bags of food. I was excited she got the chance to be a helper - her 1st little mission project!
Emma and I got to play with Abby's little sister Josie at home while this was going on. Emma brought her lots of toys to play with!
We have so much to be thankful for!!! Next up - Thanksgiving pictures in Atlanta...
