Thanksgiving 2016!

Thanksgiving is a favorite holiday around here! It's such a cozy time of year when we put extra focus on being grateful and spending time with family. We spent this holiday with family once again, starting with the Brown crew in Clarendon Hills and eventually making our way to the Harding house in Lafayette, IN. We are so thankful for Mary & Don and Tracy & Steve for hosting and preparing such delicious Thanksgiving meals! On our drive back home on Sunday, we decided in the moment to stop at Fair Oaks Farm, which we always pass as we drive up and down I-65 but have never had time to stop. This time, we did! It's a huge farm, a tourist attraction of sorts, with a big restaurant and various buildings with viewing areas. We spent our time in the high ropes course and the kids had a blast! It was a great way to break up the drive.

Here are our photos of all the fun...

The weather was beautiful!  Lots of football and roughhousing in the yard!
