Thanksgiving With The Algers

The Alger Thanksgiving was on Friday this year at Grant and Joanna's (Richard's sister). They have a beautiful home and splendid yard and garden. Mom and Dad rented a bouncy thing for the grandkids, who loved it. It was yummy and fun to hang out with 44 members of the family plus a few extras. We missed our missionary nephews Phil (Peru) and Chad (Korea) and Richard's brother James, who was away at work keeping the world safe from evil, he is a deputy sheriff.

Bouncin' Mania! At one point the kids figured out that if they all ran to one side they could tip it over. Great idea until it collapsed a bit and trapped them. Nevertheless, they did it again.

They have a great conversational area on their porch.

Mmmm, pie and a huge red bowl of whipped cream!

Papa decorated Laney's hair like a flower princess.

Pretty gardens and silly kids.

Grant decorated Zanna with beautiful leaves. She looked like she belonged in "A Mid Summer Night's Dream".
