Thanksgiving in Allentown

We traveled to Allentown to spend Thanksgiving with Nana and Big V. It was one of our best traveling experiences - great kids and no delays. Woo hoo!  Even better was getting to spend some QT with Nana and Big V and catching up with the Duddys.  Big V had a knee replacement the week before we arrived, so he was on the mend but in great spirits.  We think he and Maggie were having a nap-off during our whole trip. Big V won. Nana waited on all of us as usual, and managed to fit in reading Declan dozens and dozens of books.  The boys did their best to be careful of Big V's knee, but that doesn't mean they couldn't watch Jib Jab one hundred times in 6 days!  We got to see lots of Duddys on Thanksgiving Day and the following weekend at Aunt Kathy's.  Holdens and McNallens and Mrs.Khoury too.  It was great to see everyone.  Overall we had a blast, and Nana and Big V are glad the decibel level considerably decreased with our departure.  We love you !

 Thank God for the daVinci Center and its giant bathtub. I mean cool scientific dam-building experiment. This kept us entertained for a loonnng time.
 Favorite Nana and Declan time - reading books.

We had so much fun with McNallen cousins!  Thank you to Megan and Erin and their adorable kids for making the trip to Allentown to play with us! We had so much fun and it was great to catch up!

Chasing.
See-sawing.
Sharing a seat.
Only one two-year-old smiles at a time.
 The goofballs were mesmerized by this game. Good thing Liam and Tobi both LOVE superheroes!
 The littlest ladies.

 We topped off a fun trip to the amazing Cedar Beach play ground with a trip to Yoccos!
