Thanksgiving Festivities

We started out with a Thanksgiving Feast with some homeschoolers. We learned about the first thanksgiving, played some Indian and Pilgrim Games, made yarn dolls. Then we feasted on traditional Thanksgiving food, which of course was not the original Thanksgiving food. After that it was time to start making some Thanksgiving food of our own. Each of the kids helped make something.

Thanksgiving Day, Bret took Josh and his friend Tyler hunting for bird. They were excited partake in their first ever hunting experience. Unfortunately no birds to bring home.

We cooked a turkey at home while the men (from left to right) Dwayne (who usually doesn't hunt with them) Daryl, Paul, Bret, and Scotty (a good family friend) were closing up for the day. They caught two birds in all. It is a good thing we bought the turkey, but still a fun tradition for the guys I am sure. The girls and I cooked pies, dressing, turkey, veggies, stuffing, all the usual. And we feasted all weekend until it was all gone. Which it now is.
