As if I didn't love November enough already:)

Fall is my favorite season and Thanksgiving is my mostest favorite holiday for sure! Any holiday that is all about eating great food, spending time with family and being thankful for the things we are so lucky to have will always be number one in my book:) Now however, I have another reason to love fall....off-season prices at the waterpark resorts in Wisconsin Dells! Last weekend we had a blast at the Wilderness Waterpark resort with some fabulous friends of ours. For some reason, business is slower for them during the month of November (not sure why November more so than any other non-summer month?) so they offer some super sonic deals to attract customers during the month. We had a little mini weekend vacation that was so much fun I'm sure it will become an annual tradition for us to do every November from now on.
Here's Ena & John going down her favorite green water slide for about the 20th time:) It was a pretty long slide, what you can see in the picture is about a third of it. By the end of the weekend she was going down by herself!














We also got to attend a cute little Thanksgiving gathering at Ena's preschool daycare. It was a fundraiser for the local food pantry. It's called the Turkey Trot. The kids get pledges like a regular fund raiser walk & then dress up in little turkey hats they made in school and march a few blocks around the school. They end up back at the school where all of the parents and families are invited to stay for a thanksgiving meal. Both John and I were able to make it to the event and Ena was so excited to have both mom and dad come to school for lunch. Here she is in her cute little turkey hat. Not the best picture of her & it doesn't do the cute little hat much justice either, but it's the only one I got that didn't include other kids faces in the picture.













Happy fall!
