THANKSGIVING '08

So I realize most of us have moved onto Christmas, but I'm still reflecting on some of our recent memories which include Thanksgiving.

Grandpa & Grandma Speidel invited us down to Crystal River, FL where they are 'hibernating'. We would be just a few short hours from them after Cumberland Island so we accepted their invitation and made some great memories.

We spent our time canoeing, swimming with manatee (cue Veggietales...."Barbara Manatee, Manatee, Manatee...You are the one for me, one for me, one for me...), playing on a great playground, consumming yummy turkey, and playing shuffleboard and darts.

Even after swimming with the manatee, Rett and Asa couldn't get enough petting of these docile creatures.


I don't think Ivy can take a bad picture.

Shea was a great subject that day!

Rusty and his Dad are young at heart. They had to hop on the swings just like the children.

I have so much to be thankful for!
