Thanksgiving travels...

We spent our Thanksgiving holiday in Elgin, Austin, and Corpus Christi! So much fun we had and great family time! In Elgin, we enjoyed a huge Thanksgiving meal at my Uncle Jerry's certified organic feed mill and chicken farm. My immediate family was there, a few cousins, and at least 60 of my Uncle's friends. (You can buy his eggs at Whole Foods...check out his website here: http://www.coyotecreekfarm.org/ ).

Here we are as a family, supporting our Longhorns, of course!Here are some of the chickens, free to roam as they please.Ella enjoyed watching the chickens with Daddy...

Here we are with my Uncle with the feed mill behind us. It was a lot of fun to walk around and see his operation. The weather was beautiful and we all enjoyed a day outside!

Although Ella didn't get to enjoy a big Thanksgiving meal this year, she did get to try out peas and the pictures show her first impression.... She warmed up to the taste a little later.

After spending a couple of nights in Austin at my sister's house, the three of us headed to Corpus Christi to enjoy a few days on the beach. It was a small vacation, but it was much needed and a wonderful way to relax! This was Ella's first trip to the beach and luckily the weather was nice enough that we got to enjoy quite a bit of time outside. She even got to play in the sand! I'm short on time so here are a few pictures, in no particular order, of Ella's first trip to the beach! You can see she liked it!
