Plains - The day after

Today is the day after Thanksgiving...and food is still abundant! Even Barrett started the day off right...eating!
Derek had to go home last night, but before anyone else left I made certain that we got a group picture.
Of course, we had to get a silly picture too!
and one of Grandma & Grandpa with their 4 kids (Nancy, LH, Angie, and Cherie)
and one of Grammy with her 3 grands...Brody (who was putting her in a choke hold), Barrett (who was crying for his dart gun), and Jayden (who was sitting there wondering why his cousins wouldn't stay still for a simple picture!)
I love this picture. There's so much symbolism here and it says so much about youth and growing old. Barrett stood there for the longest time just watching his great-grandfather walk across the porch.
Like I said earlier, we had a lot of leftovers and there was always someone in the kitchen munching on food!
Today was a beautiful day outside and we spent a good amount of time on the front porch in the sun.
Yesterday LH took Mike and Brody to see some of his tractors. Brody even got to drive one sitting on Mike's lap. I sent the camera with Mike, but he was more interested in driving the tractors than taking pictures of them, so it will just have to live on in the memories of Mike and Brody. We always enjoy spending time with our family in Plains and are sad to leave knowing it may be a year before we see them again.
