Thanksgiving Trip - Day 4

Didn't get up early this morning - despite Bonnie's offer of a French Toast breakfast. Nicky dropped the girls off at 0800L (they wanted to go play with their cousins - wish we could get them up that easily most days!). We joined them at 1000L and the fun began! I watched football with the guys until a bowling party left at 1400L - then it was just me and Chuck. We saw some good games and even watched a bit of Forrest Gump before everyone came back. It was amazing to watch all the different meal choices that everyone made - turkey "dagwoods", tacos, hot dogs, stuffing/mashed potato bowls (etc.). Football continued into the evening, as did the great conversation and socializing. I'm pretty sure that no one would have thought about leaving, but there were folks traveling in the morning and the party wound down around 2200L. It was sad to have to say "good-bye" to some of the family, since we know it may be a year until we can visit again. We took our leave around the same time, thinking that Bonnie was tired [found out later, she stayed up a lot longer - too bad we missed that!]. Kids finding it hard to get sleep with only one more day to go!
