Thanksgiving Living 2011
24 Nov 2011 Leave a Comment
For the fourth year we have participated as a family in the Walk to End Hunger at the Mall of America on Thanksgiving morning.
There was a kids station where kids could make something to wear on their heads. They could choose cutouts of their favorite foods, stickers, streamers, and ribbons.
Andy chose green beans, a red apple, an orange, a green apple, and a carrot for his hat. And a green ribbon to represent his favorite color of the day.
Josh chose to make a tall chef’s hat with an apple, a pear, a carrot and some ribbons but it bugged him so much that he ended up throwing it away.
We walked a couple of times around the mall, stopped at Cinnabon for some breakfast, and strolled through Old Navy which was open for shopping. I have mixed feelings about stores being open on major holidays. I wouldn’t have made a special trip but since we were there I wanted to take a look.
We had fun spending time as a family and being a small part of giving back to our communities and helping those less fortunate. It’s definitely become a tradition that I hope we can continue for years to come. Unless hunger becomes no longer a problem. Now that would be something!
