Ack!

So it seems that the lights loaded in backwards order. Sigh. Well you get the main idea. After Black Friday shopping all the Howard's went to go see the Bentlyville lights. It used to be at a persons house but he donated them to the city of Duluth, so they set them up down at Bayfront. We had a wonderful time!
Grace adored the houses.
The kids loved the dragon.
A great way to kick off the season!
Asa and Rudolph.
The boys and Blitzen.
Zeke loved the rockin' elf!
Family photo in front of the ariel lift bridge. Bummer you can't see it.
But here it is in lights.
Zeke's group at school is called "the penguins" so when he saw them he pointed and yelled "That's me!! That's me!!"
The kids wanted me to get this one for Uncle Jed.We came to a fire pit area where they had free marshmallows to roast.

Happy Thanksgiving!

The kids made apple turkeys while dinner cooked.
The family. I was behind the camera because I couldn't figure out how to set the timer.
Barb read a story about the first Thanksgiving.
Zeke decided the story sounded better from within the mantel.
