Ooh it’s almost Thanksgiving Day here in the U. S. of A. I could fib and say I almost forgot to slap down words on ye old blog due to my all day toiling in the kitchen. Truth be told, I just moved the turkey from freezer to fridge last night. So, I’m projecting a Friday or Saturday bird consumption fest. When asked what they would like for Thanksgiving dinner anyway, the kids responded with NOODLES! and ORANGE SLICES! I’m betting I can manage those requests tomorrow. No freezer to fridge action required.
Gavin is coolin’ his spurs in Texas over the Thanksgiving break. We dropped him at the airport this afternoon (not on his head) and then rushed home so the kids could stand in the backyard and look for Gavin in the sky. That’s become our routine anytime Gavin flies away somewhere. It’s always a big deal to rush outside with the kids squealing,
Let’s look for Gavin in the sky!
I make sure we’re looking up at the sky during his departure time, and the kids will scour the atmosphere looking for an airplane. One of us will soon spot a plane and we’ll all wave goodbye to Gavin.
Wishing safe travels to you and any loved ones you may have in the sky this holiday season.
Be sure and check back tomorrow to hear all about our delicious noodles and orange slices. 
Hey, where’s the bite-by-bite description of the noodles?
I love your tradition of waving to the planes! That’s so great. (And you must live reasonably close to the airport! I live an hour away from ours.)
We’re not super close. But I’ve always figured we’re under some loop pattern the planes make. They’re way up there, but it’s still cute to see the kids pointing and yelling.
Noodle descriptive…lots of slurping and a surplus of noodle debris on the floor. Ugh and Parmesan cheese EVERYWHERE.
