Thanksgiving in Dallas

Nate and I had a great time in Dallas for Thanksgiving with Jen, Rod, Savannah, and Will. On Thanksgiving day we had an awesome meal at the Hinze home. We had a full house - lots of friends, all of their kids, and tons of good food.

Here are the cute, Hinze kids. Savannah was always ready for a ride in the car. We listened to some of her fun music, and she sang along for us.

We learned that Will loves technology. When Will would cry (something he did quite a lot because he thinks I'm scary) Nate would take him to play on the computer or teach him how to turn the lights on and off. This picture was taken with Jen's Mac. Will loves playing with the telephone, and that was lucky for us because he brought him a toy telephone from Kansas City.

Jen, Savannah, and Will took us to see some of the cool museums in Ft. Worth. They have a great American art museum. Savannah had a fun time telling us about all the different colors in the paintings, and Will loved the horse sculptures. He pointed at every horse sculpture we saw. Below the four of us pose in front of a Frederic Remington painting.

The next day we went to Fossil Rim. Going to Fossil Rim is kind of like going on a safari. The animals roam through the park, and you can feed them from your car. The European Red Deer were particularly friendly. They stuck their heads all the way into the car and ate from our hands. We also had a really good time feeding the zebras. But we didn't feed the zebras from our hands because Savannah kept reminding us that "zebras bite." Unfortunately we don't have very many pictures of the park because our camera broke halfway through the experience. We had to buy a new camera battery.

Luckily we did get a shot of the ostrich that stuck it's head all the way into our car and tried to steal our food bag. We grabbed it away from her, but not before she ripped a hole in the bag.

Thanks for showing us such a fun time, Jen, Rod, Savannah and Will. We are looking forward to seeing you in January.
