Thanksgiving

Here are what may be the worst pictures of all time of a vacation trip. You will actually not see any photos from Thanksgiving at all and will only see a few scattered shots from the travel days.


Look, here's Andrew on the flight to Dallas watching Veggie Tales




Here's Eric passing the time playing solitaire on his BlackBerry




Here is Eric during the 45 minutes it took for our luggage to disembark from the plane in Dallas




Texas Motor Speedway!!


It's way bigger than it looks in this picture

Airport on Saturday



Luckily other folks in the family took some great shots:

Kelly & John

Tim and Rhonda

Jeanie

The boys were great on the flights. No crying, no wailing and lots of sleeping. The Dallas/Fort Worth airport is too big for its own good and they didn't have their A-game on this week. It took us two hours from the time our plane touched down to get out of the airport with our bags and rental car. Not good.

Eric had a conference call to do on Wednesday morning so me and the boys went shopping at the Grapevine Mills. By noon we were on our way to Wichita Falls. We arrived at about 3:30 in the afternoon and the girls went shopping, Maureen, Angela, Kelly and I picked up some last minute groceries then went to a cool home decorator store (and the name is escaping me right now). That night we were off to Garry's and Gracie's, for yummy food: enchiladas, tamales, yum.

Thanksgiving was filled with family and FOOD. Those rolls and the smoked turkey and the ham, then those mashed potatoes and the Stuffing. Then the desserts! The pumpkin shaped cookies, and the pecan cake, and the Chocolate cake with the chocolate dipped strawberries on top! YUM.

Andrew has found his most favorite place on earth (next to Rachel and Roberts back yard) and that's Jim and Maureen's playroom. There were Cars! and Trains! and really that's all Andrew needs in this world to be happy. Andrew and I slept for hours after the feast.

Breakfast on Friday was at Uncle Joe's house - two words: Biscuits, gravy. We went to the mall and didn't really buy anything but it was fun to check it out. That afternoon we watched about 6 episodes of Man vs. Wild on the Discovery Channel. (Drinking your own pee is not cool.)

Friday night - Pizza!

Saturday we hung out and then headed home.

Great visit. Great family.
