Thanksgiving

This year we were with my family for Thanksgiving. We spent almost a full week with my parents (Clay had some business meetings, etc in DFW so we extended our stay some.) We had a great time. We made bonfires (Clay was so thankful for the rain DFW had the day before we came), ate wonderful food, went to a Christmas parade, meet up with some of Clays friends, went to Fossil Rim, Riley had glow stick bath times, we hung out, and had so much to be thankful for!

While we were all there, I was able to get some great family photos for my mom.








The day after Thanksgiving, we took Riley to Fossil Rim. Fossil Rim is a wildlife center that you can drive through; they have tons of different exotic (and even some endangered) animals. You can see and feed the animals from your car and there is a small petting area as well. We all LOVED this.




Because the cars go so slowly, we allowed Riley to sit in Clay's lap and help feed the animals. She had a blast!






Many of the animals were not shy when it came to getting some snacks.

Some got a little to close for my comfort. Eek!


And some could have cared less.


Riley enjoyed brushing and petting the goats.



Beautiful view.


One of the highlights of this adventure was the giraffe eating through the sunroof!



The giraffe was right outside my window. I was able to reach out and pet him a little. :)


The rhinocerous was Riley's favorite animal of all!
