All the happenings of Thanksgiving week pt 1

We had a wonderful and relaxing Thanksgiving week in sunny Florida.  Our flights were on time and had wireless capabilities (the cost was only $5 - a steal in my opinion to keep a child satisfied with various games/cartoons).

We were busy at the beginning of the week and by the end of the week we were too tired to do much of anything except lay around (or in Miss M's case run around).

It never fails that whenever we go out of town Andrew has documents delivered and he works. Last year he worked all week. This year we lucked out and he only worked for part of one day! It's unheard of that he works so little during the end of the year. And it never fails that when Andrew needs to work Miss M wants to help him. 

We ventured to the beach one day. The pictures don't do justice to the weather. I must have had some settings wrong. Miss M loved playing in the sand and in the water. The water was very cold and very rocky. She had water shoes on so it didn't bother her but it was pretty painful to walk around with her.  I look quite ridiculous in these pictures b/c I refused to take off my dress and I didn't want to get it wet.

One might say I look about 4 months pregnant here and one might be right! We are expecting #2 during the middle of May!

We went to the Thomas Edison & Henry Ford Museum one day. It was more a tour of their property and homes than it was a museum so it was a very kid-friendly place. We wondered around and learned about the gentlemen and Miss M ran around and climbed stairs.

Thomas Edison was interested in plant research and there were a variety of trees planted throughout his enormous estate. This tree has been there since the early 1900's. It was massive. If you look at the roots (which are showing above ground) it helps give an idea of the size of the tree. 

Miss M's new favorite thing is to say Non't No for don't know and puts her palms up.

It would have been easy to spend all day at the museum b/c the sights were beautiful but one little lady had other ideas for the day and needed a nap.
