Thanksgiving at Reveille Inn, College Station

We went down to College Station for Thanksgiving to be with Josh's family. His mom manages a bed and breakfast there, The Reveille Inn. Because it was Thanksgiving, there were no guests, so we were able to stay at the Inn.

The grandkids love their Grandpa! Sadly, Andy was leaving the next day to Singapore to board a research vessel for Texas A & M. He'll be gone for at least the next several weeks, possibly months. The kids really enjoyed their Thanksgiving with him. We already miss you Grandpa!

We deep-fried the turkey this year. It was a little bit funny to watch the boys at work getting the turkey appropriately in the fryer, but it tasted very good!

Ashley and her cousin Naomi had the greatest time together, as always. Naomi made a special cooking creation just for Ashley and they played with it till it broke.

Zack had the best time with his Uncle Hank and Uncle Parker. After playing a rousing game of Hide and Seek, they went to kitchen for a snack of cereal with whipped cream on top. Yummy! Zack was loving it...
He also loved storytime with Uncle Hank.

After a while, he attracted a bigger following:

Thanks for your time, Hank! Zack REALLY enjoyed bonding with his uncle.

The saddest thing about our vacation--Josh was REALLY sick. He got strep A and was in bed, moaning tossing and turning the entire vacation. We ended up taking him to a Urgent Care center for a shot of Penicillin. By the time we left for home, he could at least get out of bed. Poor guy...
