Thanksgiving Catch-up

It started to snow the day before we left Chicago, so we headed out to the "Choo Choo" for some indoor activity. The restaurant is a hit with kids because a toy train brings the food out and kids can ride another toy train while they wait. Ethan, Josh and Molly all had fun with this, and they managed to keep the fighting over who got to switch the ride on and off to a minimum.
Josh displayed possible engineering skills later that afternoon by building a huge Tinker Toy structure:

Our trip home was a true epic journey, taking 10 hours and involving lots of waiting. Here's Molly in the Atlanta airport, lounging in her stroller and eating chocolate chips. To anyone flying with small children, I highly recommend packing large bags of chocolate chips in your carry-on. The kids may get hyped up on sugar, but at least it stops the whining.
