Thanksgiving 2011

We spent Thanksgiving this year in Oklahoma with John's parents.  As a special treat this time...my sister came with us.

They had flooding the day before we arrived.  The water had receded but the river was still high.  We spent a lot of time in wading boots.

Colin wanted his turn getting a piggy back ride.

John had the flu and spent a lot of time in bed but ventured out every now and then.  Here he's saving Sheena from being swept away by the river.

Four-wheeler rides.  Or as the boys call it riding the "four-leeler".  This, and riding with Grandpa in the tractor, is the highlight of their trip. 

Did I mention the rain?  It left behind a lot of mud.  I didn't anticipate the need for Colin to have three outfits a day.  Besides, doesn't everyone have underwear hanging in the corner during Thanksgiving dinner?
 
With no tv, cellphones, or internet there's lots of time for card games...
 
and coloring with cousins (John's brother and family stopped by for dessert on Thanksgiving day).

Happy Thanksgiving!
