Thanksgiving Day

We had a very enjoyable Thanksgiving day. We started the day out with some of our playgroup friends and rounded out the evening with our next-door neighbors. All I have to say is that I'm glad we know such good cooks because both our lunch and dinner meals were EXCELLENT! Thanks for a wonderful day, friends. :)

Sitting at the table with Pumpkin are his friends Nate and Paige. That's me in the other picture standing with my mommy friends Heather, Lailah, Nikki, Kristi, and Katie (seated with BG).

The following Saturday, my guys traveled to Golden to attend the Colorado Railroad Museum's Thanksgiving Goose Fest. Long story short for you non-railfans, many years ago, the Rio Grande Southern Railroad (RGS) was running out of money so they created these Frankenstein vehicles from excess car and train parts that enabled them to continue operations at a fraction of the cost of running steam trains. RGS ultimately built 7 of these "motors, which are now known as the "Galloping Geese," and 6 of those are still around today mostly in museums, etc. This weekend, CRM was going to be running its entire fleet of Geese for the first time ever, and the guys...well, they just had to be there for this historic occasion.



Just for kicks, here's another picture of BG. She's already reaching for things, and she seems to get a kick out of these car seat toys (batting at them and smiling at them).



Almost forgot! The weekend before Thanksgiving, we took Pumpkin to Boondocks for a round of mini golf in their Winter Wonderland of Lights. Now, there's a dedicated golfer!
