Giving Thanks

As always we head off to my hometown for Thanksgiving with my family. We went up the night before to enjoy the swim park with my cousin's boys, Henry & Max where the kids all had a blast playing in the water. The next morning we woke up to the following beautiful view on Thanksgiving day:


The day was complete with a great Thanksgiving meal and wonderful time spent with family. It was funny to see the younger ones wrestle one moment and then play just fine the next:


The day was complete as Aunt Pat, Kirsten, Dale, Jon, & I all played pool and reminisced with the old Juke box that Grandpa has. It was interesting to see the same running routes and poles were used for dancing as we did 25-30 years ago. I guess some things just never change over the years.
It was also nice to spend time with Grandma and Grandpa as they are now 95 and 96 years respectively and still living at home. They don't miss a beat and are still very much aware of each other's habit's in life- they have been married for over 70 years!!!! Hopefully there will be more memories of years past next year to share!!!
