First Thanksgiving in Our House

We had an excellent first Thanksgiving in our new house. We started with a good long sleep, continued with a late breakfast with the entire family.

Next was a visit to a park in Belmont which Steve Nahn recommended to us. We took the Turtle Pond loop. We made an attempt at using the bicycle, scooter and tricycle, but the paths were all to rough to use them, so we brought all vehicles back to the car and walked.

Ana was very excited about a long walk…. finally in a real park after some searching.

Ivan and Gisele found sticks to fight, Markus through a lot of stuff into the pitch dark turtle pond. When we came back to the car Markus asked when we would arrive at the Turtle Pond :-).

Back at home I smoked my cigar while cleaning the garden from leaves and Ana started to cook: lentils with lamb chops, mmmmmmmhhh the early TG dinner was excellent, all loved it. Right afterwards we watch ‘Monsters versus Aliens’, remember “SUUUUUSAN, …. SUUUSSAAANNNN!”. Later we played a good round of animal bingo….. the kids winning and Papi loosing, as it should be.

After a short late dinner the kids went to bed and Ana and I enjoyed the rest of the day relaxing…..
