Thanksgiving Part Deux

The Story of the First Thanksgiving
(or some version of it)
Some time ago, there were some Pilgrims who had come to America.
They loved their new country but couldn't figure out how to grow any food.

(Even their cookies tasted horrible!)
So some Indians...specifically one very cute one named Squanto...taught them how to plant and harvest many crops.

Squanto: uhhh, this isn't my usual hat.


Squanto: This is much better!


The Pilgrims were very happy and appreciative!



Many of them did happy dances to say Thank you to Squanto and his friends.


Then the Pilgrims invited the Indians to a feast (of goldfish crackers) where they all thanked God for all their many blessings!

Then they all played piano, danced, sang songs,
and played with their dolls for the rest of the day.

Oh, and they said good-bye with lots of hugs and kisses....
which, judging by Squanto's face, must have been more of a pilgrim tradition.
