Thanksgiving

I can't believe that Thanksgiving was a whole week ago. I am so late in posting this blog. We flew to Dallas on Wednesday before Thanksgiving. When we arrived in Dallas we were met with only one of our suitcases. Luckily it was the suitcase with all of Brooke's clothes. We reported our other bag missing. The bag clerk said the bag was still in Pittsburgh and would be on the next flight to Dallas. Hmmm...... One week later and still no bag.
Even though the trip started out kind of rough we had a great time. Mark and Shevawn were so nice to let us use their car for the drive down to Waco. They had the new baby's carseat for Brooke to use too. We drove from their house to pick up Twyla in Sunnyvale.
On our way to camping we stopped to attend the graveside service of my dear friend Rodney. He died suddenly after suffering a heart attack. He was my coworker at Encompass for the past 7 years. It was a very touching service. He was loved by everyone who knew him. I will miss him so much. I am glad to have so many great memories with him.
We got to the campsite in Waco on Wednesday night. Mark and Shevawn had already setup and organized our popup. It was the perfect size; 2 beds, a potty/shower, and a small kitchen. It definitely beats sleeping in a tent. Twyla had found a roaster box for Brooke to sleep in. It was the perfect size for her.
Our Thanksgiving meal was delicious as usual. The boys fried up 5 turkeys! The only bummer was the rain started falling right as everyone started eating. It also got really cold on Thanksgiving. Sadly, we all spent the rest of the day/night in our campers trying to stay warm. Keith went to the A&M game with Mike Rasmussen. Even though it was cold he was excited to watch the Aggies beat Texas.
The rest of the time camping was spent playing games, relaxing, eating and catching up with family and friends.
We were excited to get home and back to our beds, but sad to leave everyone in Texas. I love camping because we are away from all the hustle and hurried pace of the city. There is no schedule, you can dress comfy and good food is always around.
