Thanksgiving up North

We had a fantastic Thanksgiving.  We went in an RV with Grandma and Bepaw and Scott Tanya Sam and Sophie.  Made a stop to see my cousin Jess and her new house...congrats Jess its great!  Not too many changes in the metropolis of Filley, Ne but kinda nice to have the same ole stuff for my kids to play with that I played with.  The boys went hunting with Uncle Tom and Drew and they loved it and came home with a few pheasants.  We also shot guns at cokes and pumpkins and cans.  Uncle tom made a bomb for us and blew up a pumpkin.  Rode the tractor, and four wheeler.  We played some shuffle board, some cards, and best of all just had some good family time.  We left on Friday and drove to Dallas where we stayed and then saw Troy and Carolyn, Emory and Greyson and Mama Sam.  We went to the SMU Rice game and played on the university grounds, I finally ate an In N Out Burger... good but as far as a fast food burger Whataburger is better. Then went to the Galleria and ice skated a little ... I do not see us as ice skaters but fun.  Finally we settled at Troy and Carolyns for an evening of togetherness... nice way to end the day.  We were also spoiled with some early Christmas gifts so the kids were eager to play with those as soon as we made it home.  I feel so blessed that we were able to see so many folks from both sides of the family ... really made it special.
