THANKSGIVING!

What a wonderful day!
Had great catch up time with Mark's brother and sister in law over breakfast first thing this morning in the hotel.
Arived at Michelle's ,we had a great Thanksgiving meal with family and friends.
Always great cause of the sharing and open hearts, love it!
We had the Thanksgiving group pictures taken, always lots of fun to see how many cameras show up, more that families we have thier :)
After that I strolled thru the ICY COLD stream behind thier house with Lily and Gracie
that you almost have to be like Indiana Jones to get to LOL!
No pics of that cause camera would have either been wet muddy or both :)
The kids found a deer head further down the creek. I have the txt pic from Jes to show anyone LOL!
You gotta have football on Thanksgiving, on tv and in the yard!
You gotta check out those pics LOL!
That was a blast!!!
Although I forgot you can't pass the ball twice down the field, BUT IT WAS SO BEAUTIFUL AND MICHELLE CAUGHT IT SO AWESOME! :)
Bruce's Dad took one for the team as you can see in pics too.
We had a great group of cooks and cleaners this year, I hate I missed those pics!
Grandpa gave great hair cuts!We want to thank Michelle and Bruce for being such awesome hosts to us all!
LOVED every minute of it :)

Wednesday!

I put today in a slide show.
They have an indoor water park here for all year play!
We did a sneak help attack on Grandma and Grandpa unpacking :)
Sat in Bruce's very nice car , the one from the 007 movie, the Aston Martin !
Loving all the laughs with Mark's family :)
