We headed South to Fort Worth, Texas to visit some of Eric's family for Thanksgiving last week. On our first day there we went to a science and history museum. Phoebe liked putting together a train track and the play grocery shopping center.
Eric, his brother Bret, our nephew Ayden, Sarah and Phoebe all enjoyed building with Legos.
Here they are outside the museum with the Grinch statue and a turtle statue.
We had a picnic and played at a big park South of Fort Worth.
Eric's mom brought a washers game for everyone to play...
The brothers, Eric, Bret and Marc, played their annual "brother football game". It usually gets rough, involves trash talking each other, and laughing a lot. Fun times. We all enjoy watching them run, fall down, and tackle each other trying to get the football. This year there was lots of "Go Daddy" cheering from Sarah and Phoebe.
After the games we posed for some family pictures....
Here is the Hendrickson Family: left to right - Stacee, Sharon, Marc, Eric, Silas, Sarah, Phoebe, Bret, Ayden and Andrea
We stayed with Eric's mom. She has a new house and it was great to get to see it and spend time there with her. The kids all played very well together! They especially enjoyed wrestling with the Daddies, playing hide and seek with them, and taking some horse rides on them.
Ayden wanted to hold his new little cousin Silas. He did great and is going to be a great big brother to his new sister next February. (We all will be excited to meet the newest addition to the Hendrickson family in 2013!)
On Thanksgiving day, Grandma Sharon let the kids help her make "Hershey's Kiss Cookies".
She also let them inspect the Turkey's heart, neck, and other yucky inside parts before they got cooked.
And, they helped prepare the Turkey for cooking....
We all had a great time in Texas! Thanks for everything Grandma Sharon.
