New Old Thanksgiving Tradition

I went here for Thanksgiving this year.



This is Spring Farm. It is owned by Kathryn's Grandmother's Brother. Here are the left and right outside views of it.




It was a lot of fun. I now have a bigger family. Here are some of my new cousins. Some are technically... ummm let me draw a picture.

              (Cousins-in-law once removed?)

Anyway, here they are...



Us goofy older kids are up in the back, we don't really look that scary. It's a bad foto and the cute kids in the front make us look freaky in comparison. I'd like to give a shout-out to Chris, Emily, Sarah, William, Mary-Beth, Christina, Kristen, and Katie. Kaley, AJ, and Kathryn already know me so they just get a "Hi".

Don't try this at home kids. I decided to run around outside in the snow with only pants on. The other hotel guests were thankful that I had some decency and wore pants.



There was a better photo, but my wife is highly skilled in the art of lens-and-flash-blocking, so this is as good as it gets.

Also, the unthinkable happend. Somebody let me fire a gun. I shot some shotguns and a little rifle. Interesting experience. I think I did better than they thought I was going to. Nailed my first three clay pigeons in a row! We wuz shootin skeet! Skeet Skeet Skeet! We switched to a 20 gauge and I didn't do so well. I was just waiting for that annoying duck hunt dog to pop out and laugh at me. I was sooo going to blow him away. Below is a link to a movie. The subject of the movie is: snow+man+clay pigeon+boys+shotgun.

Lastly, here is a random "cool factor" photo. I was washing out the cactus shot glass and blasto-splash-squirt it shot stright back up!
