Thanksgiving in Sugar Land

We had a great Thanksgiving day today! This laptop is not letting me move the pictures down, so they are a bit out of order. Here we are having dinner this evening.
This morning, Tim, Mason, Mallory, Paul and Linda went out to the range to do some shooting. Paul and Linda had not shot a handgun before, and they did great. In fact, Linda's first shot was a bullseye!





We thought you all would appreciate seeing how Mason's ham biscuit looked like a fish. He added the corn kernel eye, but the rest just happened. Did anyone else have fish for Thanksgiving?
Paul is the patriarch of ping pong. Tim and Mason have followed along in his footsteps.

We had appetizers mid-afternoon and read a story about the Pilgrims.
Everyone enjoyed a little Bocce, soccer, and Frisbee.





We played this game where you had to replace the words of familiar songs with the words "Gobble Gobble", and the other team had to guess. It was pretty funny!













We also read Thanksgiving Proclamations from George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. Those guys had some good ideas that we would do well to bring back to America today!
