What a fun Thanksgiving we had! Ben, Matty and I spent the holiday in Macon for 5 whole days. I cannot even remember the last time we were anywhere for that long, completely unplugged and away from the daily grind. Thursday was spent at a very extended family gathering at Bobbi and Larry Hines in Roberta, Aunt and Uncle to Kevin. We had Brownings, Murpheys, Fussells, Hines and more! Lots of kids running around, climbing tree houses, petting horses, hayrides under blankets, warm spiced cider, gorgeous blue sky and perfect fall weather! And with Kevin's grandmother now convinced she is part Cherokee, truly reminiscent of early Thanksgivings!
Friday Ben went to Auburn for the Alabama game and we tried to rest up for Saturday, which brought another chance for fun outdoors when we all headed to my cousin Clay's "staycation" house on the Ocmulgee River. Less than 15 miles from our house, it's a great place to get away, but not too far away. We ate and caught up, shot guns, drove 4 wheelers, played basketball and ran around until we literally fell down asleep! Great pictures, great memories and a great family. We had such fun being together. One of my favorite moments: shooting Clay's 20-guage and actually hitting my first sporting clay! I should have quit while I was ahead since that turned out to be the only one I hit, but the high is still with me days later!
Matty was trying to steer at one point!
This was right before the clay I actually managed to shoot (luckily, not my cousin Clay :))
