Laraway Family

The morning began with a Cheese Grits, Sausage and Egg casserole for breakfast and the Macy's Day Parade. It was a gorgeous day outside, and the last thing I wanted was to be in the kitchen baking/cooking dinner, but I never mentioned a word. Chas was asking to go swimming somewhere, and then Daddy suggested Monterey Bay! We jumped onboard, showered, dressed, packed a lunch and headed down. We played at thd Dennis the Menace park for almost 3 hours! As you can see, they have a real locomotive parked on tracks in the sand on which the kids climb and play. What you don't see is the massive park with several play areas, tunnels through dunes, slides in the ground, and just LOTS of really cool stuff! After eating and playing, we headed to Lover's Point to play in the water. We were there just under an hour, but it was more than enough for the kids. :) We left, ate dinner at Hometown Buffet (don't ever go there), and then headed to the movie theater! We ate popcorn, drank soda and watched "Mr Magoriums Magic Emporium." It's a GREAT movie if you're 3-7 or 8 years old. The boys liked it. We left there and got home just in time for bed! It was an awesome Thanksgiving!!

The rest of the weekend included playing at the park on Black Friday for over two hours in the morning with our friends, Teresa and I heading to Target with 6 kids to shop, and then meeting our husbands after their bike ride for lunch! :)
Saturday, we headed to Wilder Ranch Park to hike along to the ocean cliffs and then head inland to the ranch to play and feed the horses. It doesn't get much better than that! :)
