Thanksgiving Weekend

We traveled to Long Island for Thanksgiving and we managed to jam pack the four days. We woke up early on Thanksgiving and headed down to the school field for the annual football game. It is amazing to watch all the young cousins with the athleticism of their fathers. The guys were running so fast, leaping and even a few tough hits. After the game, they organized a kids game in which the boys were able to participate. Garrett made a spectacular running play and Connor caught a pass and ran the rest of the way for a touchdown. They were both happy with their football performance.

On the way home, Connor asked if the family meets and does this every year. When I told him yes, he informed me that he was coming back next year to play. (Somehow I forgot my camera.)

Of course, Grandma cooked up the most delicious Thanksgiving dinner and we all ate until we were stuffed. As always, the kids loved playing with Papa, Uncle Eric, Grandma and all their cousins. They really love all the attention from their older cousins.

Emily kept herself busy playing rings and then of course downward dog.

The next day we arranged to meet up with Andro, Luka and Aidan for a New York Islanders game. Unfortunately, the Islanders lost but there was an exciting kids event after the game. They were able to go on the actual ice and shoot pucks into the net.

Garrett shoots and scores.

Saturday, Daddy headed off with Grandpa for the annual Montauk fishing trip. Saturday afternoon, the kids and I headed off to Joe and Deb's house for the LI kids get together. Look at all these kids. They all played together so well and even put on a rock show for the adults.

Of course, Petro got in on the action and dressed up for the kids concert.

We headed back to MA on the ferry which completed a fun filled trip. I think I can honestly say we all had a blast. Daddy even caught tons of fish which he brought home.
