Thanksgiving Weekend

We had a wonderful time this weekend visiting with family both

here and out of town. While in Kansas City, we went to Crown
Center and we were able to do some ice skating. This was a real
treat for everyone. Even Joey was out on the ice doing everything
he could to fall, and cause others to fall as well. ;-)

L-R Krista, Joey, Sara, and Anna doing some
form of "locomotion"

Joey, and her daughter,
Haley, along with Kayla.

Joey, was surprised that he actually did
not fall down that time!
Something that was almost as much
fun as watching the children skate, was
a homeless man up on the "balcony
area", overlooking the ice arena. He
particularly enjoyed the loud and quite
upbeat music and to our amusement,
did much dancing around.
The weather was so nice, that Jeff took the
kids to the local park while we got all the
food prepared.
Dad even got in on the action!

In addition to all-day football games, we learned a new
game that Krista demonstrates with Aunt Joey in this video.
It is a rendition of the classic game, "Rock, Paper, Scissors"
This game is called "Karate Man, Gorilla Man, "Gunman"
In this game Gorilla Man eats Karate man, Karate Man
kicks the gun from Gunman, and Gunman shoots
Gorilla Man. We hope to play this game with many
of you over the holidays. :-)
