Delaware & Thanksgiving (with a side of Maryland) (2 of 4)

The week of Thanksgiving, we headed down to Delaware.


The kiddos were excited to see their Delaware family!  Madeline worked on hand turkeys with everyone.



On Thanksgiving, Grandma Susy helped Madeline to get all fancified.


Then she expanded her hand-turkey repertoire to include Nanny, Pop Pop, and still more family members.


She rarely was seen without a marker in her hand.


Oliver was more focused on eating delicious pie ...


... and playing with Legos.


The day after Thanksgiving, we took a side trip to Maryland's Tuckahoe State Park ...


... where we met up with Anna, Neal, and Mira!  We played with a parachute ...


... and took a hike in the woods, where we saw this car hull.


The kiddos led the way.



(Except when Mira and Oliver stopped to make some music.)


Then, after a picnic lunch, we played until it was time to leave.

That evening, the kiddos were very excited to be reunited with their cousin Hailey.


And later that night Grandma Susy read them their bedtime books.


The following day was a memorial lunch for Great Grandpa Royce.  Heather and Alda were kind enough to keep the kiddos entertained.


And afterward the cousins had one last opportunity to pose together.


The next day, we hit the road and headed home to Rhode Island.
