Happy Thanksgiving!

Ty has learned so many fun songs at school this year. He always gets shy when I ask him to sing them for anybody. Here is his turkey song, it is really funny. Hope everybody has a Happy and safe Thanksgiving.

Turkey Day Fun

Ty had another fun kids day at Kindergarten. They made pilgrim and indian costumes and had a feast on the placemats they made. Ty's table made indian vests and headbands. He did a great job decorating his vest.
This is his class at their feast.


At our house, we made Turkeys out of handprints and footprints. We traced their hands for the feathers and their feet for the turkey's body.





Our two cute turkeys!




Ty got to dress up like a pilgrim or an indian for school today, he wore dad's indian costume that he made when he was a kid, it's really cute on him.

Ty always seems to close his eyes for the picture, these are him trying to keep his eyes open. He looks pretty funny!

Disneyland

We had a really fun time in Disneyland this year. The weather was perfect. Ty and McKinlee had so much fun together this year. McKinlee was so excited to see Minnie, she is her favorite. Ty was on an autograph quest and filled his book and lots of times he would just take McKinlee's for her. She didn't like all the characters or wasn't in a mood when we would see one. All in all we had a really great time.

San Diego

We spent a day in San Diego while we were in California. We parked on the pier and were able to do some different things there. Theses are some of the sculptures in the area that honor the military.


This group is to honor Bob Hope for all that he did for the troops.





We went on a tour of the USS Midway Museum. The Midway is an aircraft carrier that had been made into a museum. The Midway was in service for 47 years until decommissioned and now is a permanent museum in San Diego. What a history this ship has, we really enjoyed it.




Ty & McKinlee trying out the cockpit.






Here are some pictures from the Harbor Excursion that we took. We toured the North and South San Diego Harbors and learned a lot about the military operations in San Diego and some of the history of the city.


The bridge to Coronado.


Sea Lions


We even had dolphins riding the boats wake. Ty and McKinlee loved the dolphins, there was a small hole in the front of the boat and the had a perfect view of them.





We ended the day at the Coronado Beach. We had fun playing in the water and sand. We had a really fun day seeing some of the sights in San Diego.

Trick-or-Treat

Ty's Giraffe spots.
McKinlee got a hold of the eye pencil while we were putting
Ty's giraffe spots on and painted her own kitty whiskers on.

The white kitty
McKinlee wasn't too thrilled about me putting the whiskers on her, so she got touched up while she was napping later in the day.

Halloween was so fun this year, I was surprised at how well McKinlee kept up trick-or-treating. She had so much fun following Ty this year. They looked so good in their costumes that my mom made.

Halloween Carnival

The school had a carnival in the afternoon on Halloween. They had inflatable slides and games for the kids to play and served lunch in the cafeteria. Finishing their "school lunch".

Cake walk
Ty won a cake on the cake walk, of course he had to
choose the one with the "yummy looking" purple frosting.
Playing on the slides. They took off their costumes for the slides.

This is what he chose as a prize on one of the games. Nice teeth!
