Thanksgiving

We had a great Thanksgiving weekend! Chuck's family was still in town after the Eagle Court of Honor, and Heather and Jared, along with Jared's parents, all came for Thanksgiving dinner. That made 11 of us. Our weather was amazingly warm; we could have eaten outside, but some of the party vetoed that. We all kibbitzed as Chuck carved our 29 pound turkey. A turkey that large takes quite a long time to get all carved up, so we had plenty to say to the carver. We finished dinner with a huge assortment of desserts, and, of course, we can't try just one.

On Saturday we visited my sister for a second Thanksgiving celebration. We really did eat dinner outside that time, all 24 of us. It was one very long table. After dinner, we hiked the perimeter of their land, then some of them did target practice with .22's. Greta had her first shot with a rifle.
