HELLO MR. TURKEY, HOW ARE YOU (CLAP, CLAP)???

Our Thanksgiving holidays started on Monday at Macy's school. They had a Thanksgiving Feast for all of the families. It was great to see her class perform some Thanksgiving songs...which I really wish I could post a video on here(not blog savvy enough!). Those lil' ones singing those cute songs was absolutely precious. My favorite is sung to the tune of "If you're happy and you know it..." like to hear it? HERE IT GOES!!!!

HELLO MR TURKEY HOW ARE YOU?

AFTER THE FOOD SETTLED, WE ALL GOT IN THE BACK FOR SOME TOUCH/PUSH/TACKLE FOOTBALL. EVERYONE'S CONCEPT DIFFERED BUT WE HAD A GREAT TIME. IT TURNED INTO ADULTS KEEP AWAY FROM THE YOUNGUNS, UNTIL HAYDEN CLOTHESLINED NOAH AND KNOCKED THE BREATH OUT OF HIM-BOOOOO!

~RENAISSANCE FESTIVAL~

THERE IS AN ANNUAL RENAISSANCE FESTIVAL IN CONCORD, NC WHICH IS WHERE THE RACE IS LOCATED ABOUT 30 MINS NORTH OF US. IT WAS OUR FAMILY'S FIRST RENAISSANCE ANYTHING, SO WE HAD NO CLUE WHAT TO EXPECT. I GUESS WE EXPECTED PEOPLE DRESSING UP, ROLE PLAYING, SWORD FIGHTING AND FOLKS WALKING AROUND EATING BIG CHICKEN DRUMSTICK. WE DID SEE ALL THE ABOVE, BUT WE SAW A WHOLE LOT MORE! ONCE WE WALKED THROUGH THE MEDIVAL GATES, ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS WE SAW WAS ONE OF THOSE WHITE PLASTIC FIGHTER GUYS FROM STAR WARS?!?! IN A SKIRT?!?! IT WAS REFRESHING TO LEARN THIS IS WHERE STAR WARS ALL STARTED-PHEW!!!! UNFORTUNATELY, I WASN'T CAMERA READY AT THAT TIME.
