Went to the Frisco Heritage Museum for their monthly open house and turkey pardon in November.

We also toured some of the historic structures.

Mr. Turkey came with some furry friends.

Err, spiky?

Blacksmith demonstration.

Friends were in town for Thanksgiving.

Bots, bots and more bots!

We built this using a WeDo kit.

… And then zero pics on food coma day … It was nice to eat, drink and enjoy time with some family this year — it’s been awhile.

The day after, we got as far away from Black Friday madness as possible and took a day trip to Glen Rose. It’s apparently “dinosaur capital” of Texas and first stop was Dinosaur World.

Map in hand, this adventurer was ready to discover some dinosaurs!

Koi made Y think of his Mama’s pond at home. Tres Merrells. Y won a contest once by sending in a photo of his shoes dangling off Half Dome so he may enter this one. :)

His fave: T-Rex!

Child tickets came with a fossil dig and he totally dug it!

You get to choose 4 fossils to keep. He selected 4 different shark fins.

They had some animatronics and other interesting exhibit cases inside the museum.

We lunched on packed leftovers outside and played HOURS on their playground.

We left pretty much when the park closed. There was just a bit of daylight left for us to check out Dinosaur Valley State Park across the street.

Real dinosaur tracks apparently were left in this area but a pretty formidable creek stood between us and the other side. Daddy carried E across. A dad with four kids took off all their shoes and got 3 of the 4 over on separate trips. The water was chilly!

The tracks were worth seeing.

Deep heart-to-heart with daddy.

A rare introspective moment! (Actually, way past nap time, hehe. He crashed hard in the car while we drove back home).

Mommy’s friends’ gals. Token bachelor of the day. Haha.

Back to da boyz. :)
