Thanksgiving 2010

We had a fantastic trip to Texas for Thanksgiving. We took our time on the drive and stopped a couple places on the way. First was Cadillac Ranch in Amarillo just before sundown!


It's amazing how these cars are still in tact (mostly). They're covered with layers and layers of spray paint! There were several people there painting them while we were there - I had to warn the boys to be careful where they sit!






Next, we pulled over at a cotton farm and "borrowed" a little of the cotton to see it up close. That's homeschooling in action!


Here's a close-up of how cotton looks before it pops out of the bud and after.

Mom and Dad took us to the oil museum near their house. Yes, more homeschooling! It was very interesting...


We stopped by our friend, and former bus driver, Gill's house to say hello!

And finally, we had our annual feast with family and friends...


The rest of the trip was spent out at Grammy & KooPop's house just horsing around! Chan and Kay came with us and added to our fun.

...aren't they goofy?



I don't think I ever posed with Mark this way?? How sweet...

Handsome Jon Chandler...

And beautiful Kaylan Nicole...

Mason needed a haircut. :) But he always has a wonderful smile.

We were all amazed at this photo of Morgan - he posed it all by himself (thanks to yearly practice by Lifetouch, I'm sure), and we think it is probably the best photo we've ever had of him! He's actually SMILING and it looks so NATURAL!

It's virtually impossible to get a natural smile out of this one... but this was the best I had.

Some time at the park finished off our incredible week with family...


Mom wouldn't let me down!!




Grammy with 5 out of 9 of her grandkids... precious photo.

We hope you, too, had a fantastic Thanksgiving this year!!
