Thanksgiving

We decided to hit the road for Thanksgiving and went to the beach in Alabama. The temps were mild and where we stayed had a heated pool, so we got to spend a lot of time outdoors. Evan was wet 90% of the time and couldn't get enough of the water. We also had a lot of fun shopping, eating out and riding go carts. Going back to school was hard this morning, but knowing that Christmas is less than a month away eased the pain a little. Here are a few of my iPhone photos:

Evan hanging out in the pool. There were about five other boys his age at the hotel, so he always had someone to play with.

Evan eventually dug this hole deep enough that he hit water!

Random Stuff

The boys are so happy to be out of school for Thanksgiving week. On the last day of school, Chad's Food and Nutrition class had a Thanksgiving Feast. He is learning his way around a kitchen and made a seven layer dip for the class. I love have multiple cooks in the house!

Todd is on vacation this week as well and took the boys to the firing range yesterday and today. Chad and Todd both shot the gun yesterday, but Evan was a little worried about the kick after he saw them shoot. Today Evan got his courage up and shot the 20 gauge shotgun himself. Here is the video:
