On Thanksgiving Monday we headed of to my Uncle and Aunts place out in Nell's Corners where we would meet a bunch more of the family (my Mom's Uncles and Aunts, their kids (my cousins) and my cousins kids too - basically a whole lot of people! We had beautiful weather once again (the whole weekend was great for being outside) and enjoyed more good food and socializing. The kids just love being on a farm - nothing better than having the freedom of running around in lots of open space! We all had a great day again - all of us pretty tired by the end from enjoying the great outdoors!
Can't get enough of those fall colours!

Ok, this was about the most favourite part of the day for the kids (maybe both the ones in the trailer and the drivers!). I'm pretty sure we went thru a lot of gas today, but we worth the smiles on the kids faces with every ride they got!
Anna doing her favourite thing - Swinging! And this swing was huge - definitely beats any playground swing in the city!
Mmmm...food!!
Alvar diggn' in with the kids :)

Oh boy...that's a "mean" lookn' farmer!
Ok, so I thought that the hi-lite of the day was going to be the lawn-tractor rides - well, I was wrong. By far the biggest hi-lite for Alvar and the kids was getting a ride in my Dad's old car (did I mention it was old? yup...1937 - that's old!) Alvar went for a "real" ride with Dad (on the road) and the kids got to go up and down the long driveway (no seatbelts, no carseats...mmm...maybe that was more the hi-lite for the kids!)
Alvar looking pretty excited to be in the cool car!
Well, I think Caleb looks even more excited about being in the cool car!
You can just see the tops of the kids' heads here...if you were there you could definitely hear them, they were so excited!

All in all we had another great day - and over all a fantastic Thanksgiving weekend!!
