Monkeyshines and An Early Thanksgiving

Monkeyshines and An Early Thanksgiving

The Chan Clan left last week after a 5 day visit. Buster sobbed the night before they left because our time together is never long enough.

This was the second year in a row that we’ve spent time together the week before Thanksgiving. Todd completed the Flying Monkey Marathon down at Warner Park, seemingly effortlessly. Always inspiring.

When this crew is in town, it’s like having family visit. Relaxing, laughter-filled, and when our time together ends, we all want to know when we’ll be together again.

We went to a homeschool program at the Main Library where cardboard creations were the order of business. Our crafty crew got right to work.

So patient.

We’ve got our next visit planned, so though we were sad to see them go, we’ve got more fun to look forward to in the near future.
