We had a really great Thanksgiving with Mom and Dad. The kids had a blast playing with them and just being around them. So much fun to have them enjoy one another so much. Dad will retire in February (or so) and we’re looking forward to seeing more of them.
On the day after Thanksgiving, we loaded our bloated selves into the cars and did some driving. First stop was Bridgeport – the world’s longest, single-span covered wood bridge. Sarah and the kids have been there a few times. I’ve been there once before (just a couple of weeks ago). Dad had seen it on California’s Gold (be sure to pronounce that with Huell Howser’s drawl!) and wanted to go. Sarah took some great pictures of Mom and Dad with the kids:
From there we went to the Nevada County Fairgrounds to see how Maesie’s gingerbread house did in the competition. First place in her age group!
Overall, a great and relaxing holiday with far too much food.

Go, Maisie! Well done, ma’am.
Can I be in your family? I mean, I don’t want to leave mine, but that sounds like an excellent Thanksgiving as well. Rock on, Slater folk.

WOW! Super gingerbread castle! Mom and I got to see your folks for a few minutes at the Vons in Redlands before they headed up your way. It was good to see “Biff and Roxie” and hear about the new plans and the cocktail napkins they plan to use at the beach Christmas
