Not sure if anyone ever agreed on how long it had been since we've spent Thanksgiving together as a family, but it had been a looooooooong time......so we descended on Joe Gabbards home in Benton Louisiana and spent the Holiday together.
I have 3 brothers and 1 sister and it was great to get together all at one time.
The "boys" went fishing with Dad on Wednesday and we had a total of 2 bites and no fish caught, but had a lot of laughs getting dad in and out of the boat and also traversing the white capped waves (since the wind was blowing about 30 MPH...!!)
On Thursday, we had a Texas Hold Em tournament and Joe, Dad and Rhonda (the great lady who keeps Jim straight), were the winners........and after dinner, we played live betting and Dad ended up the big winner in that one as well.
It was a quick trip, but well worth it and we look forward to doing it again!!
Dave
And we are going to get Dad onto the boat how?
Well fellas....how much are catfish nuggets per pound?
Hey Jim....whose bright idea was it to sit in the FRONT of the boat?
Dad, did you do that?????
Mom....don't you know that they make digital cameras now?
I'm outta here....!!!
No wonder Joe never ran out of chips....
Rhonda, your looking mighty serious...!!!
I love pie.....
Lauren, Aunt Lynn told you no more flying in the house!!
David, get your kid outta my face....!!!
David, shut that dammed camera off NOW!!!!
Believe it or not we all lived in a 4 room house once....WOW!!
You need HOW MUCH Debbie??
Yes, I'm soooooo cute......
Mike is checking his bank account to see if he can buy more chips..!!
Joe is looking SERIOUS.......Hey Jim, I just LOOOOOVVE that HAT!!!
Lynn is thinking "aren't you people ready to leave yet?"
The mind of a teenager.......SCARY.....
Handsome devil.....
I'd rather be riding my Harley........
I swear I didn't do it Grandma.....
Can I go shopping Mom???
Yeah.....I look cool....!!!
