What I did over thanksgiving...

Well, I had a LOVERLY Thanksgiving! I went to Missouri with my family to where my great-grandparents live and visited with family at their house during Thanksgiving dinner [lunch, really]

That's me and this HUGE dog--an Irish wolfhound, I think--named Finnegan. [He belongs to Uncle Andy and Aunt Debby.] Isn't he gi-hugic??? He was so cool-looking. When I saw him, I imagined him in a huge mansion sitting by a fireplace--good idea for a story, I think...[I don't mean that the entire story would be about a dog sitting by a fireplace but maybe a nice tidbit in a story somewhere]

Later, we went to Silver Dollar City [my great-aunt works there and usually gets us free tickets--Thanks Aunt Audine aka Redshirt! (I used to call her that because I didn't know her real name)]. It was lots of fun but so cold that they had shut all the roller coasters down [I wasn't too upset about it but I know that at least Hannah and Dad had wanted to go on them]. So we just travelled from shop to shop.

Yeah, this has a funny story behind it. I walked into one of the shops and said, "oh, tell me that's not one of those things that you put over your face when you go to sleep!" [see below] Then I showed my mom that there was a hole in all of them. She thought I was hilarious. Then I figured out that they weren't for your face--you're supposed to put the hole around a wine bottle or something. So here's what it'd look like if you did where it--that way you can keep one eye open! LOL

Here's Hannah getting a caricature done. It was so cool! He even drew a halo above her head! LOL He's really good at pulling out a piece of your personality and representing it in the caricature. When he drew it, it looked SO much like her! I kept saying, "it has her eyes!" LOL
The next day, we went to the Titanic museum in Branson. That was SO COOL! [You notice that the outside of the building actually LOOKS like the Titanic.] There were so many picture opportunities but they wouldn't let us use our cameras because of copyright laws. :( They even had the big staircase like in the movie only it was half the size [literally]. I SO wished I could get a picture by it! While I was walking up or down I tried to walk up very lady-likely [LOL] like the lady on the Titanic might have done. *sigh* IT WAS SO COOL!!!

When we first got there, they gave us a pass or whatever paper thingy. On each of ours there was a name of a real person who was on the Titanic, their age, what class they were in [1st class, 2nd class, 3rd class, or crew], and a little bit of their story. At the end of the tour, you got to find out if you person lived or not. I was a 2-year-old who died along with her entire family [we were in 1st class]. My dad was a hero!

We also even got to stick our hand in water that was the same temperature as the ocean was that night so you could feel how cold it truly was. They had a timer on it to see how long you could take it. OMG! It started to HURT because it was so cold!

It was an AMAZING experience. If you ever go to Branson, you should go to the Titanic museum!

Here's all of us that went after coming out

I had a great time! So what did you all do for Thanksgiving?
