END OF AN ERA

Dale has always had a thing for baby lions, and tigers.  So it didn't take much to convince him to fork out the cash to get up close and personal with these little guys.
They bring exotic animals to the lobby of Kalahari for the kids (and apparently the dads) to see.  The kangaroo was so cute, and he just hung out in this sling- popping his head out to check things out every once in awhile.
This baby had HUGE paws.  He was so sweet, and SO soft.
Our Thanksgiving was great.  We all had an amazing time- which is saying a lot considering me, Elle, and Crew were all sick.  (the kids are recovering... I'm getting worse.  I seriously hope that we didn't leave our friends with coughs as a parting gift.)  I don't know what we're going to do next year.  Heaven forbid we eat turkey.  (YUCK)  I don't know where we will be... or who we will be with- but the last 4 years with the Christensens have been the best.  Low key, easy, and fun.  We aren't afraid of un-traditional traditions... neither are they.  It didn't hurt to end the trip with a FREE tank of gas.

Um, you're not leaving us forever, so don't go saying good-bye just yet. :) Although, we will miss you guys at Thanksgiving next year. It will definitely feel a little empty without you guys around to help celebrate. And, thank you for making a disk of pics, I'm looking forward to it already. I called the other day to see how you were feeling, but no answer. I hope you are getting better. We are all fine, no bugs here. We'll visit you guys after the New Year...

Meg: So happy you had such a good time!! Your making such great memories for your kids. I think that's the greatest thing. Is Elle really taller than Pyper?!!! Hope your feeling well. Let me know about graduation so I can make reservations. We'll probably just spend a weekend cuz Shane's graduation is the weekend before Dale's!! Either way I'm excited! Love you guys, mom
P.S. I'm trying to call you!!
