This month we started potty training (so much fun!). Ben's done really well as long as we're close to a bathroom (we did the 3 day method over a long weekend). We also introduced Ben to bowling this month. He really enjoys it, but he wants to skip the ramp throw the ball like the adults (typical Ben).
This month we continued our visit with Pawpaw and Grandma Helen. The five of us took the Grand Canyon Railroad from Williams to the Grand Canyon, where we stayed overnight - it was a lot of fun staying in a hotel on the south rim! Ben liked opening our curtains and yelling "IT'S THE GRAND CANYON!!!". He kept telling us that he was seeing foxes in the canyon. I don't know where he gets this stuff. Silly kid :).
We also visited with Nonna, Aunt Debbie and Uncle Joe for Thanksgiving. Ben was asleep for pictures, so we didn't get him in with the family photo. Too much turkey!
Cheesy school photo. CHEESE!That's NOT how you're supposed to brush Ben's teeth, Dad. LOL.A little entertainment at the local cajun restaurant in Williams.Silly Grand Canyon Railroad picture on the way up. Ben was not ready for his close-up. Lol.For some reason he was not liking getting his picture taken on this trip :)Finally, a smile!!! This was just before our LONG drive home (stuck on I-17 b/c of an accident for ~3 hours).Boat ride across Tempe Town Lake. Despite his expression, he loved it (maybe not as much as the guy behind him, though :)Bowling! Yes, it was still warm enough for shorts in early November.Playground fun at Elliot's birthday party in Anthem.Looking for the birthday boy.Silly post-haircut lunch with Nonna.Thanksgiving dinner! Ben's favorites: rolls and cranberry sauce.Family picture sans me and Ben. At least Vincent was in there!More driving, less talking, Nonna!!! Ben is very serious about his racing games.The most pitiful elf.Trip to the aquarium with Nonna!
