Thanksgiving Part Deux

It's a tradition in my family to celebrate Thanksgiving on Saturday at my sister Lorre's house. This year we decided to spend the night at my mom's afterwards. Especially because my little sister Morgan and her husband Brian were also staying there, along with their chihuahua Carlos. We arrived on Saturday around 10 am. Travis went down for a nap and the rest of us walked over to SECCA (a contemporary art museum behind my mom's house) to go geocaching, not to look at art. We were 3 for 3 on our finds for the day. I think they all enjoyed learning a new pasttime. Then back to the house for lunch for everyone. Once both boys were down for nap, Adrian and I snuck out to Whole Foods to buy our potluck dinner contribution, bread.


At dinner, we tried to take group photos since everyone was there. It's not often this happens with such a large group. The estimated head count for dinner was 40 plus.
