Thanksgiving Adventures!

This year for Thanksgiving, we took a road trip up to visit Mark's parents.  



Before we left, Jonas and I prepared my Grandma Latscher's dressing recipe.  Jonas did a great job cutting up all of the celery for the recipe!  He has so much fun in the kitchen.


Jonas loved climbing in Grandpa and Grandma's tree


... and jumping and hiding in the leaves his Daddy piled!



Ready?!  Three...

Two...

One!  That was FUN!!


We had lunch at a great little cafe called the Lily Pad. 
We had our very first BLTs with cheese and it was on Ciabatta Bread.
Yum!!



One night Mark's parents took us to our first Christmas dinner show!

It was set up in a very large very nice barn.  There were no animals -
They use it for shows and a lot of things they do for the community.
We loved looking at all the Christmas decorations and lights while
we waited for the show to start.

We brought Jonas' scribble and write - he played in between dinner 
and the show.

Reviewing the program.

Giggles with Daddy

It was a great show!!


We also took a trip to Ocean City with some of Mark's parent's friends.  
Just a bunch of kids in a Candy Store!!

We went out for dinner at a wonderful pizza place.  
After dinner, we stopped in to pick up some salt water taffy 
and a special treat for Jonas.
He was sad that we couldn't stay there longer.


...and then on to the light show!

We rode around in a little train looking at all the fun lights.  



Jonas loved these!


We even went over a little bridge and had water on both sides of us!
We were just off the coast.  We saw glimpses of the 
ocean on the way back to the house.



Happy Birthday, Jesus!



After church on Sunday, we went out for lunch at Cracker Barrel.
Jonas loves having pancakes there!!

Our Road Trip to Table Rock

Mid-November we decided to take a Sunday drive to Table Rock.
We had never been there before, but thought it would be a nice
place to explore.

This sight is nothing in comparison to others, but still, SO AWESOME!
God is so awesome and we thank him for his wonderful creations.

We are especially thankful for this little creation!  :)
We wanted to take a few pictures at this great lookout and Jonas
got filled with giggles!

These are only a couple of what we took.  The rest are 
Christmas gifts for family :)

Jonas wants to climb the mountain.  THAT ONE!  
Unfortunately we didn't have enough time this day.

Jonas has become quite a good little photographer!



We found a great little creek that was fun to walk 
along and hop the rocks.



Here was part of Jonas' mountain climbing experience for the day.

He loved it!

This was my favorite spot!


More exploring to do!


They found a little cave-like area that looked fun.

Once he got up there he wanted to jump down into my arms!
He has way too much faith in my strength.  

Good thing I was able to talk him out of that idea...  
He climbed down like a mountain climber!

Rock Hoppin' Fun!

We had fun today.  We'll be back again - when we can stay longer.
Maybe we'll camp next time!

This is a nice little lake that has camping near by.




Jonas learned this song in school and really wanted
to sing it when we were in the mountains.
We were there, so we took a video!
"Go Tell It On the Mountain"
sung by Jonas M. Flatten November 2010.
