Thanksgiving

This year we spent Thanksgiving in Kansas City. I had wanted to have a nice quiet holiday with Sven and Charity and the boys for some time and it was as great as I had hoped. Though we got off to a rough start when on Monday night I found lice on Eleanor and Hank. So I spent the evening before our trip shampooing and nit picking. And if that wasn't enough, Tuesday morning Carolyn woke up with a terrible ear infection. A quick trip to the doctor and a prescription for an antibiotic did the trick. It was KC or bust and we were on the road by 3pm. At 11:30, 12:30 local time, we pulled in the Ohlund driveway. A quick hello and we set off to bed. I woke up to Hank vomiting at 2:30, 3:00, 3:30, 4:00, and 4:30. Holy crap this could be the holiday straight from H - E - double hockey sticks. But fortunately Hank made a quick recovery and we had a great vacation!

Hightlights include gametime at the local super-huge arcade, a beautiful, delicious, fantastic wine-consuming, great company Thanksgiving dinner at Mike and Denise Jeffries, bowling, and outdoor fun!

 

The following week at school, Carolyn brought home this picture of our Thanksgiving meal:

The Hesston Steam Museum's Ghost Train

Last year we experienced the Hesston Steam Museum for the first time. We loved it, and their ghost train so much we had to get back again this year. Grandpa Buddy came out this year too!

Ready to get spooked on the ghost train. I'm not sure who's doing the spooking and who's getting spooked.

Now they're getting spooked by the Crazy Lumberjack

Halloween

Batman, Cinderelle, and the Vampire

Hank said, "Mommy, that guy is naked."
