Turkey, Ham and a Potato Gun?

Author: Donna  |  Category: Adoption

We had a great Thanksgiving holiday! My parents came down from NC to spend a few days with us. We had a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner…my Mom makes great mashed potatoes! That afternoon, we drove to the beach to take Christmas pictures. It was chilly, so we smiled quickly! On Friday, I managed to drag mom out of the house by 5:30am for over 5 hours of shopping! That was fun. Randy’s high point of the holiday was trying out the potato gun that he’s been building. We started out using little foam balls in the driveway…worked great. Then, we all walked down to the pier in our neighborhood to give potatoes a try! Wow! Those things really flew!! Randy was so proud!

See the smoke?

Daddy is way cool!

    How nice to see our picture on your website! Hey, we all look pretty good, don’t we? No one but us knows how cold and windy it was while we were smiling like it was 88 degrees at the beach on Thanksgiving afternoon! Ha ha! Yes, our Thanksgiving turned out really nice and the food was delicious, not to mention how much fun it was to get up at 4:45 AM and go shopping…just kidding! It was fun and we did good! I wonder what Lainey will think of her Dad using a potato gun?! I imagine the fish in St. John’s River enjoyed all those potatoes he shot! The kids and I named the day after Thanksgiving “Potato Day”! Love, Granma West
