Thanksgiving Fun

I have been wanting to go back to the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade ever since we moved to Connecticut. I went every year when I lived in New York. Last year when we were getting ready to move, I thought I had missed my last chance because Abigail was due the week before. There was no way I would take a 1 week old to the parade. Strangely enough, we ended up staying in Connecticut, and moving an hour closer to New York City! So this year, we finally made it down to the parade. Our friends, the Butlers, came too.

We didn't get quite as good seats as in previous years, but there was open space for the kids to run around. And we still got quite a good view of the balloons.

Thanks to Dan, our photographer.

After the parade we walked leisurely through the park, and let the kids climb some of the huge rocks. Then, realizing we would probably miss our train home and have to wait an hour in Grand Central, we ran! And we made our train.

And we then made a wonderful Thanksgiving meal, which we thoroughly enjoyed.
