After leaving the water park exhausted we realized we were also
starving. Nothing much is open Thanksgiving evening off the
interstate except Denny’s so that is where we had our Thanksgiving
celebration with Boca Burgers and mac n’ cheese. Monti added a bit of
traditional Thanksgiving by getting mashed potatoes as her side item.
Each kindergarten class came to the feast dressed as a different
Thanksgiving character. Dahlia’s class came dressed as Indians. They
joined kids dressed as pilgrims and turkeys to sing a couple songs for
the parents after they were done eating.
I worked with several other parents for an hour getting all the food
ready for the feast. It took so long to cut up all the fruit for the
fruit salad and it killed me when they poured in marshmallows and Cool
Whip on top of all of our perfectly good fruit. In the end, the kids hardly
touched the marshmallow/Cool-Whip/fruit but the popcorn was devoured.
