More Houston Thanksgiving

We had a wonderful time on our Houston Thanksgiving trip. Rather than write a long narrative, I decided to simply post some of my favorite pictures. We missed having Bryan and Jessie, but Jessie cooked a wonderful meal in Chicago for them and Jessie's parents.


Even at age 21, Laurel loves the Houston Zoo. Good idea to brush the goats and not feed them.
Mike's Mom, Mary McCormick joined us. She is in Houston for her cancer treatments. It was a real blessing to have her join us. What a wonderful woman.

Is this Sara Vollink's first time on the blog?


Why can't Keith smile. $3,400 of orthodonics work down the drain.

On the way to Texas (yes we drove), we stopped in Kansas for the funeral of Mac McCormick, Mike's Dad. Mr and Mrs. McCormick live on a farm in Kansas - truly God's Country. The funeral was a wonderful celebration of Mac's life.

Keith dances with Cleo while Pepper waits her turn.

Seeing Double?
The birds are safe with us. Actually just me - Keith and Phil were great shots.

It is so much fun to hunt with Mike and Mitchell
The entire Mike and Linda Clan. A Christmas Card photo?

Keith and Phil are great shots from all those years of playing violent video games.

Eh, not as good as you'd think. I was pretty terrible, actually (maybe that's why Bryan and Keith always beat me), although Keith shot every clay pigeon launched. Another time when we went hunting and shot some clay pigeons afterwards, Bryan also shot seven in a row, and the man running the clay pigeons asked him if he played many video games.
