Thanksgiving Day was BEAUTIFUL in Colorado Springs. Sunny and in the 60s. A perfect day for a picnic. I am thankful for in laws who are okay with a picnic on Thanksgiving :)
We are at Fox Run Park in Black Forest. This is where we had Nathan's one year pictures taken. We had turkey sandwiches, sweet potato chips, cranberries, apple cider and a delightful holiday nut mix (thanks for the recommendation, Dad!).
Now that the meal is out of the way, time to run around and have some fun! Needs some help going down the stairs.
Heading to the gazebo.
Walking on the rough terrain with Nana.
A pine cone!
We met an incredibly nice family while we were there! It was a dad & mom and their grown daughter and son in law. The son in law was riding their horse, and the daughter had 3 dogs along with them! Nathan loved all of the animals. Here he is meeting the horse.
It was so well-mannered and the lady even got up on the horse so Nathan could get up there too!
Nathan LOVED it!
And he loved them. I can't believe we didn't even get their names. We were hanging out with them for quite awhile!
They even offered to take a picture of us all.
So the dad is a school teacher and was SO good with Nathan. He kept trying to get Nathan to count, "1,2,3.." before throwing the stick to one of the dogs. Nathan giggled every time.
This dog was so good. When we're ready, he'd be the perfect type of dog for our family.
Here's a video of all of our fun at that park. You'll soon see what I mean about Nathan giggling!
The best changing table when you're on the go!
Hanging out with Papa & Nana in the backseat on the way home.
Right after he woke up from his nap.
Nathan's up! Time to skype with Grandma & Grandpa J, Nicole, Uncle Mark, Aunt Rosie and baby Drew! Meeting his cousin for the first time.
Technology is amazing, isn't it?

Nathan doesn't know any strangers does he? I love the way he is looking at the lady on the horse. And the video of him dancing should be on TV. What a night you all must have had with him.
Such a very fun day! A picnic may have to be our new Thanksgiving tradition - loved it!
