We had a nice visit with Erik's family in Connecticut last week. Some highlights: playtime with the cousins, a great meal at Erik's sister's house, a few game nights, a tour of the Peabody Museum of Natural History at Yale, and lots of Grammy and Grampy time!
Caleb LOVES Aunt Crista's dog Barney!
Darian's clever Thanksgiving craft: Pilgrim place cards/napkin rings
Kids' table

Erik read the story of Squanto and the first Thanksgiving while the kids "acted out" the plot in costume. (Next time we might need a rehearsal first.) Here, Squanto and other Patuxet Indians are captured by pirates and taken to Spain.
Wardrobe change; the Pilgrims suit up for their scene.
The Peabody Museum - a beautiful old building with some interesting exhibits of dinosaurs, stuffed birds, and Indian artifacts, plus an interactive exhibit on contagious diseases like the flu. One favorite of my kids was the leaf cutter ant colony. See the last photo below for a shot of Kate in her element :)

These are great photos! Do you have a place you could post them so I could download the high res versions of a few favorites to post on our blog?
