Table Rock Thanksgiving

I had this great idea that my family and my in-laws should drive to Table Rock Lake, Kimberling City (near Branson) for Thanksgiving. We all met up Wednesday night after LONG days of driving. 7 hours for my family, 12 hours for us Texans. I rented a house for my parents, my brother and his girlfriend and us. My in-laws and their friends got a condo down the road. It was really fun. Thursday we cooked the full Thaknhsgiving dinner. We had wayyy too much food. But it was yummy!


Friday we shopped at the Branson outlet mall. Never having been in Branson, we went to the wrong one first. It was deserted and we were freaking out. The acutal Tangers outlet though was really great. I think Houston's is still better though. This is our discussion of stores to hit.

Here is the whole crew. Howells, Harkness', Jenna/Adam, Me/Scott, Spencers

And, um no there was no drinking at all. None whatsoever.

This was our reaction to mom making us eat leftover turkey sandwiches. We didnt want one, but she was insisting, so I said fine, we'll split it! And we did. And yes we are watching the Grinch in the background. Every time they said 'Grinch' we had to drink. It was way too much fun. The whole rest of the trip, we would randomly yell out 'Grinch!' and everyone had to drink.
