turkey day...turkey bowl

I'm getting posts from Spain now that are wondering what happened a the Turkey Bowl--it's an international sporting event! What a great time! Just so you all know, the rumors are true, I was dragged through the mud by five (you know it TOOK five to take me out!) college guys. Just wait until next year!

Of course college took home the victory with a 10-9 score. It may only be a point, but it's a point! We'll have to see if high school has it in them to take on again next year. We had parents, grandparents and a few interested church folk who turned out to cheer our athletes on and to make the day even better. This was such a fun event from challenging each other on Sunday mornings (high school, we have to give it you that you took us down in the pre-game activity!) Then we got togehter back at church for the Thanks Gathering Dinner--a record numb er of college students turned out for that too--I'm guessing close to 50.

While Pastor Tim got to take the train to Southern California to see his family, we spent 8 hours on the road getting down to Long Beach to spend time with Lisa's family. Our boys struggled with the amount of time that we spent in the car and I'll just leave it at that. We had some great time together as a family and made a 31/2 hour trip home on Saturday in tiem to rest up for church Sunday. What a great Thanksgiving time--now it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!
