It's been a long while since the Colorado Seals traveled at Thanksgiving but we landed in Anderson, IN this year to see Nana & Pop along with all the others... There were 45 beautiful and familiar faces on Thanksgiving Day, all extensions of our family. We enjoyed this reunion and feast in Noblesville, IN at the Lodge, a new and super nice venue thru the Parks and Rec Dept overlooking beautiful green open space (Thanks Don for the Lodge and Thanks Sue for the organizing and mass cooking). It was a perfect day. Even the rain was cleansing and unobtrusive. The food was out of this world, the company somehow was even better and the Thanksgiving Prayer (Thanks Sue) was the cherry on top. Nevi was even able to nap in the Lodge office for a while so we didn't miss a beat. The traveling was surprisingly easy, as well. Robb, Nevi & I all made it to the airport on time for departure, expecting long lines the day before the holiday but ended up with NO line when checking bags and a reasonable/manageable line for security. We arrived at our gate 2 hours before take off but it not an issue since everything is a fun activity with Nevi. Leaving Indiana was just as easy, just way too early. With the time difference (2 hours difference between Anderson and Lafayette), we figured we woke up at 2am to head back. Yuck, but well worth it (Thanks PopPop for the rides).
It was awesome to watch Nevi bond with everyone and get such warm love and genuine interest/attention in return. I think that this trip was very fulfilling for us all.
