Thanksgiving Getaway: Day 4 - Thanksgiving

We had plans to make two turkeys.  Tony and I (mostly Tony) was in charge of making the turkey in the oven and Gabe did a fried turkey.

Tony went to the store with the girls to pick up a couple things while Wendy and I went for a walk.  Wendy's neighborhood is full of hills, some really steep and others not too bad.  It totally kicked my butt.  I was so slow and totally in pain by the time we were done.  I obviously need to do more hills in the daily exercising.

When I got back, I helped Tony get the turkey stuffed and in the oven.  Josh really wanted to swim in Wendy's pool, even though it was really cold.  So, him and Megan decided that they were going to jump in the pool.  Josh went first and automatically jumped right back out of the pool shaking and trying to catch his breath.  Megan still wanted to jump in herself and reacted the same way, freezing.  They both automatically got into the hot tube and felt much better.  Gabe checked the pool temperature after that, and it was only 51 degrees.  So yeah, a little chilly.

After they showered and got dressed and the turkey was in the oven, we all headed over to see Julie's new house and all the work that Boyd's been doing on their house.  They had just gotten new counter tops in their kitchen the day before, so we were excited to see it.  Boyd has been so busy updating their house and it is looking tons better.  After we stopped by my parents' new house.  It is so cute, and I think it'll be perfect for them.  We then went back to Wendy's house to get the charcuterie ready for when our guests arrive.

The afternoon was filled with food, family, and fun.  We had plenty of food and good company.  We went on a golf cart and four-wheeler ride.  After our ride we walked around Wendy's property and found where we wanted to take family pictures the next day.  We then had some pie before everyone went back to their houses.  It was a great family filled day.
