I guess Jerry enjoyed the first Thanksgiving so much that he couldn't wait a whole year for another one. Whatever his reasoning, he asked me to cook another Thanksgiving dinner for us. At first I told him NO WAY! But then I thought about it and realized that between having company and traveling I hadn't taken the time to teach Will anything about why we celebrate Thanksgiving. So I decided to give in and have Thanksgiving, Part II. I cooked dinner, we watched some Charlie Brown Thanksgiving clips on YouTube, and I put Jerry in charge of figuring out a way to make Mayflower ships for Will to sail in the bathtub. I wanted to incorporate a craft to reinforce the learning but Will doesn't like simply cutting and coloring. I knew though that sailing a ship in the bathtub would be his kind of thing.

| Jerry had the great idea of using egg cartons for the hull of the ships! |

After we added a few pennies as passengers and stabilizers
the ships sailed great (until the sea got too rough)! |
