It was amazingly fun for me this year!
First we went to my aunt's house (carpooled with parents and brothers, since we live in the same city right now) and met up with other extended family. That evening we played in the park near her house, and it was a decent play area, if somewhat limited.
There were some boys there when we first showed up, but they beat a hasty retreat as soon as we showed up. I thought it was because we were a small army of strangers and they wanted nothing to do with us for that reason.
I was wrong.
One of those little prancing snot-nosed *******s had peed on the bottom of the one of the slides, and I found out the hard way. I had urine on the sleeve of my coat, the seat of my pants, and even my underwear. I was so grossed out. At first. It was cold enough that it kept the smell to a minimum, so I just decided to finish playing and change when we got back.
We played a few games of Magic, did some races (on those handle-on-tracks things, you know what I mean? Where it's up in the air?) and called it a day. We were all getting cold hands (it was around freezing). I went in and changed clothes, and popped my stinky stuff in the washer.
Dessert was various pies (I had apple-cranberry and pistachio) with cinnamon ice cream. OMG. Cinnamon ice cream on apple pie is one of the greatest tasting desserts ever. I swear I just about had a mouth-gasm.
Hope you all had as great a Thanksgiving as I did!
