Thanksgiving games

Nenna and I came up with some games for the kids to play while we were all staying together at home. There were 16 of us for a few days and we didn't want the kids to go crazy.  We came up with some fun things for the kids to do like games and park trips, where Nara loved climbing on the jungle gyms. One of those games we came up with were boat races just like the Pilgrims did so long ago. Okay, so they didn't race, but we sure did, for about an hour it was race after race. We made some origami boats, attached straws and a balloon to the back and raced them along a piece of thread in Mom and Dad's backyard. It was so much fun for the kids as well as the adults.

  

Blowing up the balloons to get ready for the race. We raced until the balloons popped.  They were just the cheapy balloons that lost their elasticity.

After the two little girls' balloons broke, they entertained themselves by playing in the garden dirt\ out.

Lovely ladies

Another day, we went to the park. The weather was so nice that week that we played

outside everyday.

These girls loved playing tea party together.

All together 

Nara loved playing with baby Hailey. She is so excited for another baby in the house. They played together a lot, Nara crawling after Hailey, and Hailey trying to get away :)
