~Happy (American) Thanksgiving~

We enjoyed another wonderful day with the Golden Family.   This time to celebrate US Thanksgiving.  This time last year we were with them in Palm Springs, CA for Thanksgiving too and had no idea that we would be with them again for it this year.   We had such a fun day with many games, amazing food and lots of laughs!
Trying to put paperclips in the correct colour order.
This is just one of the tables of food!  We had such a feast.  We all decided that we felt like fried chicken instead of turkey.  We also had rolls with butter or pumpkin spice butter (yum!), gravy, cranberry sauce, mash potato, broccoli, salad, stuffing, "cokes", apple and pumpkin pie, cream and ice-cream!   We went to the Golden's RV Park as they had a nice room that we were able to use for our party.  It even had a fridge for us to store our stuff in and a stove that we used for cooking everything.

This is us "digging in"!!   YUM!
We did a scavenger hunt around the RV Park - it was SO funny when the groups stopped into different trailers asking for things on the list eg: tennis balls, soap, candles, eggs, Georgia quarter etc....
One of the games had us all "carrying" acorns across the room with a straw.
What are Todd and Stephanie smoking???  This was meant to be a child-friendly game!! :)

And you too Travis???

Shae was the only one who could not seem to be able to keep the acorn on the straw - it was hilarious!
And now Scott is at it too !!!  Disgraceful!!
Next we had to try and balance 3 golf balls on top of each other - Todd got pretty serious and even lay down on the concrete pad to get just the right angle!  He did quite well with 2 balls balanced BUT.....
the record was 3..............by Scott  ............(all those Pro Shop rainy days paid off!!!!)  ..not that the Harper's are competitive or anything !!
Last game had us "fishing" in a pot of oats for paperclips - if you have not done this before - try it......it's tough - you can't feel the clips!!

We had a GREAT day - thanks for sharing "your" Thanksgiving with us all Golden's.
