On the First Day of Thanksgiving...

Our Thanksgiving actually started on Tuesday night! Bobby and Bekah came in town around 6 for a some "mini" pre-Thanksgiving action. They were spending Thanksgiving in the mountains with the Davis family, so it was Bobby's idea (of course) to have a "mini" Thanksgiving dinner at our house Tuesday night. But, um, who's ever heard of a "mini" Thanksgiving? My mom went all out and cooked all day and there was a ton of food! It was the best night just laughing and catching up and being crazy together. I had missed them so much! They stayed the night at our house too! It was the best to wake up in the morning and see Bobby. We lounged in our jams most of the day Wednesday and played some more Guitar Hero and Speed Scrabble. Bek spelled "ziltch"...haha and Bobby spelled "ribjoint"...

After they left, it was just too nice outside to stay inside...so me, Jess, and my mom and dad, went to Sea Shore State Park to walk on the trails! Bub was sick :( though so he didn't come. It was absolutely gorgeous out there. That's probably my favorite thing to do...just walk around down there. My dad is so funny and we had a blast just goofing off and enjoying the foliage and such. It was so relaxing to be outside and spend time with my family. Sometimes those times get overlooked and swallowed in the craziness of school, teaching, basketball, classes, and work.

You can so tell we are in a drought...look how high the water used to be! It was completely dry out there where it used to be a swamp!
