We spent Thanksgiving at the farm this year, as our tradition.
It was nice because we had the newly constructed barn to keep all the food warm, instead of lining up the food on picnic table outside as we have done in the past. The wind, cold, and flies just didn't work well with our plans for a nice dinner. So, this time it all worked out great!
This year we all played fun games like Catch Phrase and Mad Gab. Once it was dark, we took a bunch of glowsticks and threw them into the small patch of woods by the front gate. Then each team would race to find as many as they could. My team won every time! Woo-hoo! We also made a thankful tree where each of us made a leaf out of construction paper and wrote something we were thankful for, then attached it to a large tree branch. It turned out really cute.
This is the main activity while at the farm... sitting around the fire, chit-chatting.
Boots and coffee are always a must.
Yummy!!!
These girls don't even look like they have been roughing it. All clean and pretty!
Our thankful tree
Tay is probably bossing Mark around, but he loves it!
And she loves her "Mawk".
Tay always giggles with Tristan. It must be a girly thing.
CK got to drive Kyle's truck and Mark's!
This big ol' water moccasin was found right where I was standing to take the pics in my last post! There are always snakes right there, but I risked my life to attempt a photo of a tree vine.
This tree, just as trees in the past , required much contemplating. The boys wanted to get that massive fallen limb out of the tree. The only problem was, it was shaped like a wishbone and sat perfectly on another large branch. It was very content in its spot.
Ryan and Mr. George sorted out a plan. Hhhhmmm...
Mark pulled but my dad put that to an end. Mission aborted.
Tay looooves the 4wheeler almost as much as CK.
CK took Nikki and Tay on a little ride.
This was totally not posed. I just happened to have my camera out and ready. Awww!
Shane taught CK how to shoot his AR. Shane sat right behind him for safety, but CK did it all by himself.
The target was 50 yards away!!
Checking out the target
Amazed!!! (he is holding his shell)
He shot it!!! His hole is right under his finger.
Tay lugged around CK's bb gun for him (safety was on and were standing right by her). She thought she was big stuff.
We had a great time visiting with everyone and we thank God for each and every person in our lives. You make every day special.
