AArGGs- giving adventures

This year for Thanksgiving we went to Baggs to visit the Capt'n's mom & stepdad aka King Baggs. We lovingly call them grandma & grandpa Baggs. Ariel the water princess was there as well. She brought her dog Nova. Now I thought that just maybe Nova & Genevieve would get along, but Nova had other plans. She exploded into a territorial Super Nova. :(

Grandma Baggs or Queen Baggs I shall call her, invited some friends over to enjoy the day of gluttony. That was fun to get to know the art teacher of Baggs. The other family didn't stay long. They had little pirates that needed naps, so they went home.

King Baggs' mom was there in body giving us all reason to be thankful for our sanity & youth. Oh to be old & not quite there. Still love her.

Mario Girl made a thankful tree for the table. We all wrote what we were thankful for on the leaves that she made and hung from the otherwise dead branch she plucked from the lifeless bushes outside.

We overstuffed ourselves with turkey, jello salad, stuffing, rolls, and other good pirate monkey foods. We then commenced to the pie. YUMMY pie!!!!

My mom came down on Friday to visit us in our colder & windier state. Maybe she came up cause we are further north.

Saturday we set our sails to the east & went to Laramie. We shopped & got some great loot for the Christmas holiday so vastly approaching.

One-Eyed-Jack tried to make Mario Girl into a Mario Boy on the way to Laramie only to find that it's hard to draw on a face with only one eye. He claims to have done it on purpose to be funny. But we all know that one-eyed pirate monkeys aren't good at drawing two sides. ;)


Mario Girl showed some true pirate skills by spotting a penguin blow up chair on a shelf that proclaimed "All items Free". So she grabbed the bag & ran like the good pirate she is. Howling like a monkey all the way to the car.
