A Journal, with Pictures

Fri­day after Thanks­giv­ing was time to hang out togeth­er and give Mom a much need­ed rest from cook­ing. We all went over to Shel­ter Cove to get out in the sun and get a pho­to tak­en with a very cool San­ta. A lit­tle boat view­ing, bounce house and craft watch­ing and it was back home. We hung out togeth­er at home and watched Mis­souri come from behind to win, mak­ing Hei­di and Brenn very hap­py. It was a big bar­be­cue ribs din­ner (take out) then all the kids slept over.

Sat­ur­day the fam­i­ly, as is the tra­di­tion, trav­eled out to Spring Island for the annu­al, own­ers mar­ket, kids fun activ­i­ty, lunch, dog show and gen­er­al great to be alive as a fam­i­ly day. The girls loved the pet­ting zoo, all enjoyed the crafts and face paint­ing, shop­ping pro­duced some great bar­gains, enjoyed a bigggg lunch and all watched as Jen, Mike and Alexan­dra s gold­en retriev­ers sis­ter com­pet­ed in the dog show.

Alexan­dra had a Sun­day Gym­nas­tics meet in Flori­da so we all left for our sep­a­rate homes from Spring Island after the dog show. It was a great Thanks­giv­ing fam­i­ly get together
