James just has a blast playing with his 12 older cousins but we took him outside to roll around the yard a couple of times by himself in the wagon. He also loved pushing the wagon.
Mark's parents purchased two big rolls of carpet to put down in the garage when the family is all home to have a warmer place for kids to play....and sleep! There really is room elsewhere for the kids to sleep but it was an exciting novelty thing I think. Nine kids (plus Mark's parents) slept out here one night!
No pictures of our big main meal (a yummy soup dinner with homemade bread bowls Lois made) but all the men were in charge of breakfast! 
I guess I didn't get as many photos of the Thanksgiving festivities while we were there...we also fit in a small-town downtown Christmas 'window opening' festival, a ride in a surrey, a quick trip to the dollar store to find James pjs (because we forgot to pack his suitcase in the car--oops), and a pie-eating-palooza....more pies than you can even IMAGINE--apple, pumpkin, cherry, raspberry cranberry, key lime, and sour cream raisin!

Mark's parents slept on the floor? They must be pretty awesome grandparents!
and I like that the men made breakfast :) My friend Marlene's husband, Byron, makes her breakfast in bed EVERY weekend...I need to find a man like that huh?
So, you experienced the magic that is the window opening. I haven't been to it in years, but always thought it was pretty fun when I was a kid. It certainly is a slice of small town 'fun'. Hope you all had a good time there!
