Thanksgiving in Naples, FL

For Thanksgiving this year Doug's parents came down to visit us. We were so excited for days before they actually arrived and we had a great time with them. A few hours after they arrived we drove out to Naples to start our vacation. Unfortunatly a cold front came in that day and we were a little chilly at the beach, but it was beautiful and it was fun to drive around downtown Naples with Grandma and PaPa.










We saw this pelican on the dock and watched it try to eat a large fish. It got stuck in it's throat and one of the fishermen had to grab it and dump water down it's neck and tried to loosen it up. The kids were a little spooked, but they loved watching all the fishermen.



Doug's parents took us to a great crab restaurant in Naples. The kids loved the food and even helped Doug with his crab. Brooke played cards with Grandma Maggie until our food came. She had tons of fun...we are so thankful for Grandparents!!



The kids loved the hotels that we stayed in. PaPa Richie loves to check out new hotels (and their continental breakfasts), so we got to stay in a different hotel everynight. They were all great and the kids thought staying in a "new house" was great! They can't wait to do it again.
