Redmond, Part III: Thanksgiving

Thankfully, Uncle Bill and Aunt Patty have a big house, and the cousins spent the night, too.

We watched the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, a tradition for millions.
Uncle Bill made a delicious pancake and bacon breakfast - the feast before the Feast.
We then took a walk to a great park that is basically on the outskirts of their neighborhood.
The park has natural areas, and a farm yard with animals.


Cora was in her element, and took off toward the creek bed to explore on her own. She found this brightly colored mushroom.
More animals - this rabbit was a giant!
The big race: Cora thought she had Uncle Bill, but he was merely playing her. She then went rogue and tried to bring him down.
Stace and I put together a charcuterie board for lunch... yum!

I didn't get a pic of our Thanksgiving feast, but it was delicious. Oh, the stuffing! And the moist turkey!

Here are the pies, though! Blueberry with home-grown blueberries.
Tyler's parents joined us, too. It was great catching up with them, for the first time since he and Alison got married nearly nine years ago.
After a thoroughly enjoyable day, we did some online Black Friday shopping Friday morning, while Cora made us biscuits for breakfast. Also, Aunt Patty fixed the dress Cora will wear to her first junior high dance in a few weeks. It fits, but just needed the shoulder seams adjusted.
Then, all too soon, it was time to heard back to the airport. We had an outstanding pilot who invited the girls into the cockpit!
So cute!
