I Give Thanks for my Family

It's Monday and I don't want to Bill out to insurances companies right now so I'm going to Blog instead. That is the nice thing about working for yourself. You can totally slack and it's all good. We had a very fun Thanksgiving Day in Santa Cruz with our friends. We played in the annual Ward Spam Football Bowl, played soccer, and surfed. After working up an appetite friends came together at the O'Donovan's home for an smorgasbord of food. I made ginger bread with pumkin butter and Silvia made her amazing twice baked squash bowls.











The next day we meet The Eyre and Vassallo Family at Six Flags Marine World. The excitement was evident with Lexi peeing her pants as soon as we went through the gates. But no pee was going to slow us down. Before we knew it, we were riding Thomas the train, watching dolphins fly through the air, and hearing Mike puke after riding the roller coasters.

While Silvia was riding on the submarine ride with Lexi, Silvia whispered to Lexi "I'm scared" Lexi grabbed Silvia's hand and said, "Don't worry I'll protect you." In the middle of the ride Silvia said, "Lexi I'm scared." Lexi replied in a soft motherly voice, "Siiiiiliva don't forget what I said. . . . I'll protect you."

We spent the rest of the Thanksgiving weekend hanging in P-town with the rest of the Klan. I Love Family. We have so much fun together and those nieces and nephews are so dang funny. It's hard to get back to the normal grind.
