From north, south, and west the families traveled over the river and through the woods on Wednesday afternoon. There were enough of us this year so that we took over then entire Hayden House. Festivities started that evening with dinner at The Black Seal.
Thanksgiving day was beautiful and warm so everyone headed out for a walk to the river. The kids frolicked in the leaves and rolled down a large hill in a local park.
Dinner was served at 3 and it was delicious! The chef even made special preparations for Stellie's gluten-free diet.
The next day everyone headed out. Nana and Papa joined us for a visit to The Pequot Museum next to the Mohegan Sun casino. The place was huge and children and adults enjoyed it very much.
After the museum Nana and Papa headed home, and we headed over to the casino. The place was overwhelming. And as a lesson to the girls that gambling is an evil vice, I let them watch daddy quickly lose $5 in a slot machine.
