wow. i am really bad at this! i thought for sure that i would stay on top of a blog. wrong. i am recommitting and promising myself that i will blog on Sundays. no excuses. i mean for crying out loud, i'm awake 20 hours a day, surely i can squeeze in a blog once a week.
along the lines of a quick update, we have decided to do something new this year for thanksgiving. we will be spending thanksgiving day at "Knott's Berry Farm"! i am super excited about this for three reasons.
1. you all know what a kid i am and i LOVE amusement parks!
2. its FREE for military through thanksgiving day!
3. thanksgiving day is the official opening of the seasonal conversion to "Knott's Merry Farm"!
now, this means that there will be several special events planned in the park. the Charlie Brown Christmas Parade, Snoopy On Ice skating show, Christmas Craft Village (i should come home with a plethora of ides!), Thanksgiving Feast and of course the lighting of the 65ft tall Christmas TREE!!!!
we figured that there really isn't any point in cooking for an army and then feeding only four and we don't really want to travel back to KS during the holidays. that seems like more work than play. we like to play. SOOO, why not start our own Frakes Four tradition. a different amusement park every year on thanksgiving day. sounds right up our alley!
