When I was about six years old, my family loaded up the big brown station wagon and drove from Utah to North Carolina where my dad grew up.

One thing that I remember about this trip is the two-player game of "Turkey!" Here's how it's played (Just remember we're in North Carolina here, so you must use a southern drawl):

One cousin would say to the other, "Turkey!"
The other would reply, "Turkey Farmer!"
"Turkey!"
"Turkey Farmer!"
They would then proceed to volley the name-calling back and forth.

When I told Mike about this memory, he immediately wanted to play. However, over the years it's evolved into a game where the winner is the first to call the other "Turkey!"

My sister and her family came down for Thanksgiving! It was fun!



We played "pin the feather on the turkey"



but it got a little silly after a while.



At least I'm not the only one who thinks Mikey's a great "Turkey!"



On Thanksgiving day, we had a "mixed up holiday" activity.



Then the kids helped prepare deviled eggs for the Thanksgiving Feast:



We also took the kids camping over the weekend:



and fishing:



and "hunting":





we even made our own constellations with the "Light Brite"





It was a really fun weekend! Thanks for coming down guys! :)
