A Historical Thanksgiving


When we moved to Topeka last year we started a new mini tradition of having my mom and dad come for Thanksgiving. Last year we did a small church history tour. This year we took them on a history tour. First we went to the National World War I Museum and Union Station in Kansas City. Both are excellent places to visit where you can experience the past.

Thanksgiving day was spent playing games, watching movies, and eating finger foods. My kind of relaxing, easy going kind of day.

On Friday we headed to Wichita to see Old Cow Town. Since my dad LOVES Lonesome Dove we thought it would be fun to take him to the old west. We had fun looking around at all the buildings, watching a gun fight and enjoyed more sarsparilla in the saloon. We finished off the afternoon with a little photo session. The boys were all about the weapons, Kaydie was all about the dress. We all posed for a "serious" looking photo, but let's face it, this picture is who we are! Look closely to see where all the guns are pointed :)

Another fabulous Thanksgiving down, now on to Christmas!!
