Thanksgiving Road Trip!


King Channy passes through Ontario, Canada on the way to Granny's house


Fishing with magnets at the Ann Arbor Hands-on Museum


The boys take turns shooting plastic balls into the air


Our two little shopkeepers - Mikey gathers the food while Channy checks the cash drawer


Going for a walk with Grandad around the pond


The boys couldn't get enough of this neighbor's tree ... they kept saying "Santa hugging the tree"



Chandler looking out of the tower at the Plymouth Playscape


Mikey looks around to make sure he didn't miss any slides


Chandler driving a wooden ship


Getting dressed up for Family Night at the Detroit Athletic Club


Gingerbread house building for two


Chandler was very proud, showing everyone else what he'd done


Mikey closed the joint


Thanksgiving morning in front of Comerica Park - Go Tigers!


Showing the boys the ballpark for the first time


Mikey and Liz wait for America's Thanksgiving Parade to begin


Chandler and Big Mikey


The boys watch Clowny pass by


Checking out the motor city via the Detroit People Mover


Liz and Mikey get excited to see "Murfette"


After the parade we took a quick snack break at the DAC


Thanksgiving dinner at Granny's House


Chandler checks out the Christmas Tree display downtown Plymouth, MI


Looking at all the ornaments


Mikey was disappointed because Santa's house downtown Plymouth was empty ...

... but the boys enjoyed running up and down the ramp anyway

Chandler rides Daddy's old Pluto toy


Duet


Chandler gets ready to play "Pooh sticks" on the bridge behind Granny's house


Getting ready for bed with Granny


A highlight of the trip, Santa came for a visit!


They weren't too sure about this


Chandler finally speaks up and tells Santa he wants a baby lion ... oh boy!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!


Captain Hook and Peter Pan take to the streets for some candy


Chandler shows off his first treat ... Play-doh


Mikey waits his turn


All the kids in the 'hood


Mommy holds on for a quick picture


The Captain and Peter stop next door for more candy


Chandler says "You can fly!"


Mikey wasn't so sure about the mustache


"shooting the breeze"


Chandler didn't want to take off the costume


The boys kept requesting "Mr. Smee," so Daddy scrambled to come up with something


At the end of the night Channy relaxes with a sippy cup and watches Peter Pan on T.V.


Channy takes his turn being Mr. Smee

It's pumpkin picking time!


Mikey finds a "baby" pumpkin


Channy was happy with his choice too


Chandler shows off his pumpkin


Twin-o-lantern


Mommy and the boys in a sea of orange


Mikey helped Daddy get a big one!


Later that day we made a trip to the apple orchard, complete with a hay ride


Chandler tries to balance while standing up during the ride


Chandler scopes out the best trees to pick from


Daddy and Channy tried picking the high ones ... Mikey and a taller Rob got even higher


The boys helped prepare Mommy's birthday dinner earlier in the week


Actually, these guys helped occupy the boys while Daddy cooked


Mikey makes a mess out of Mommy's cake


Chandler was a little more civilized
