Thanksgiving - traveling to Virginia

We were very worried about Alaina on the plane but she did really well.  The takeoff and landing were just fine.  The only thing she didn't like were the rules.  She didn't want to sit still in my lap - she wanted to stand up and play with the fan and lights.  She did NOT want to turn off and put away all electronics!  Don't tell, but I let her slide on this one.  I hid my phone when any flight attendants walked by and let her play with it.  It was either break the rule or have her scream and annoy everyone around me.  I stand by my decision!  :)

Caitlin took a video of our landing.

Leaves

Lara raked all the leaves in her yard and let the girls play and jump in them.

Chickens and Ducks

Caitlin enjoyed the farm so much, Lara talked to a lady in her ward that has chickens and ducks and arranged for Caitlin to get to come over and play and gather eggs.

Caitlin adored all the animals, but I think this one was her favorite.

Or maybe this one.

By the end, she was able to catch the chickens and feed them out of her hands.
