       A very mild  morning and going to be another awesome day all 'round. First early morning walkabout noticed these 2 deer standing in the field (quite away from me). This is the bean field that was harvested last night. They just stood there and stared at me for a while. 

      Now with the weather going to be so warm it is a perfect day to watch the Thanksgiving Day/ Octoberfest Parade in downtown Kitchener. So just before 8 am we headed off and met daughter number 2 and family at a pre arranged place. The Streets were lined with anxious people. Not long to wait and moved pretty quickly.
       I took about 150 pics but will just show you a few, Its a parade and most of the pictures will speak for them selves. This is the boys first parade and they did enjoy it as well as us adults.

      We stayed until near the end and left at 10 am and headed on up to Aurora (about 90 minutes away) to visit daughter number one with all three children and spouse and all 5 grands together.

          Our little redheaded granddaughter playing with Sophie.

       The she was chasing all of the 4 grandsons around and all through the house.  So in and out around and up and down the stairs of this 3 story house plus finished basement.

us adults got to relax on their new deck for a while 

and the boys managed to get in a video game

        But then I figured was time for them carve the 5 pumpkins I brought for them. Perfect mild weather, So we gonna have fun. Lets see what they can do.

          Now its Thanksgiving and we have to eat so lets dig in. The turkey is saved again, today a spiral ham, potatoes, turnip, squash, devilled eggs and salads.

oh so tasty,
moderation allows us to eat like this

       Now the desert options all there too. Lotsa choices.

My choice was a tiny sliver
 of Raspberry/Elderberry pie excellent!

       With an early dinner done we got to chat some more but then time for us to head back home. It was an amazing drive considering the end of a long holiday weekend,  no traffic delays what-so-ever.

        Back here shortly after 8pm to put our feet up after a busy very fun day with the family.

        Thanks for stopping by again and hope y'all had a wonderful day too.
