Best Thanksgiving Ever!

First of all, a huge thank you goes out to Shauna and AJ for letting us crash at their place for a week. Thank you for your hospitality, generosity, and for all the fun times and good memories. Here's just a few of the good times we had over the Thanksgiving week:






The biggest catch of the night, hauled up by yours truly. Totally beginner's luck, but i'm still pretty proud of myself all the same for getting out there. Thanks AJ for the letting me join you guys!







With all the smiles and laughter, how could I refuse? It was great to spend time with my nieces and nephews and hopefully that provided the parents with a little time to relax and catch up.















On the beach with Em and K. That little man is fearless, whether he's chasing down seagulls or jumping off couches or swinging on the playset. He does it all and always with a smile on his face.












Touring the old boats with the A & J and fam. Very fun and informational and thanks to the kids for being good sharers and giving up some of their goldfish crackers to sustain us (and some seagulls) thru the day. The sushi we all downed afterwards was a great finish to a great day.






Some other good times that I don't have pictures for: ImagineIf and the silliness that it provoked, our dear little Thanksgiving mice (sorry, Becky, for encouraging their behavior, but it was just too cute), pushing the kids down the hall in the laundry basket, MAGIC MOUNTAIN (it was great to have a day for the singles in the family...Val and Em, I had a blast), driving around in the Pontiac G6 rental (it's got more power than my car and I took advantage of it), the Thanksgiving feast and perhaps the juiciest turkey I've ever eaten, spending time with mom and dad, zipping around on AJ's new scooter, and everything else that we did down there. Good times!
