VZ Thanksgiving

On Sunday, the 19th, we had Thanksgiving with Seth's immediate family.  

We had a delicious lunch of turkey and all the vegetable dishes and salads to go with it.  I brought fresh, homemade rolls.  And there was plenty of pumpkin pie and oreo dessert for everyone.  Whew!  After a lunch like that, we needed to take a walk.  Through the timber.  Over the crick and through the woods.  And up a tree.

An old trick of Grandpa Arlin's:  climb a tree and then bend it over.  Here it looks like Eliza's about to get slingshot through the air.

Ephraim wanted to climb one and then bend it over so here he is with Seth and Grandpa.

Eliza found two walking partners.

And when the going gets tough and thorny, find an uncle to carry you on his shoulders.

We also had the 4-wheeler with us for some fun rides around the farm.

It was a nice day with dinner, outside time, indoor time playing cards and visiting and finished up the evening with leftovers.  A blessed day.
