Return of The Great Turkey

Time travel is the theme lately, and it met Thanksgiving head-on with a fun movie we've been watching, one that gives us this very important message:  "It's okay to have pizza on Thanksgiving."

"Free Birds" was fun tonight - a Thanksgiving-themed movie that's lots of fun  We were watching that in the condo tonight in preparation for the big day Thursday.  We have "Pocohantas" and "Charlie Brown Thanksgiving" with us as well, so we've certainly got our theme movies for the week!

Today was pretty low key.  Actually, a lot low key.  We didn't do too much here at the beach, although we did have a nice long walk along the beach.  It was cooler, although there has been quite a bit of wind the last few days, dropping the temperature a bit.  It still made for a nice day, as most days at the beach are better than your average day home.  We did some looking for shells, but didn't find as many as we did the last few times.  We found some, but we also found crabs and a stray coconut covered with barnacles.  Oh, and a tricky little crab.


We did a few board games this afternoon, including Pirate's LIFE - and a few card games like Go Fish and Old Maid.  The tide was high for a good part of the day, and the waves were roaring outside.  A windsurfer went sailing by, and even way up high there were skydivers jumping from planes, practicing in the high winds.  These guys were from Patrick Air Force Base, which is just around teh corner from here.

No matter where you are, it is still Taco Tuesday, and Nana and Ba-Ba continued the time-honored tradition by preparing a Mexican feast for us here tonight that was enjoyed very much.  As was dessert, with ice cream and sprinkles.

Daddy was reading a book from Ford County, and Madison has been doing some decorating for Thanksgiving.  Also some coloring too.  Mommy, Nana and Ba-Ba did a lot of shopping today, going to a thrift store, and a few other grocery stores in preparation for the big day Thursday - and for some snacks up until then!

It's been a nice quiet day at the beach.  Nice and relaxing, although Daddy did write a message for January early on.  But beyond that, it was quite an unproductive day.  Which was just fine for everyone involved, of course!
