Thanksgiving/Rivalry/Concert12

We were so thankful for a few days off in Perry with all of my family! 18 of us to be precise! We ate the most glorious and flavorful food thats entered my mouth in a long time! My family is getting pretty spiffy in the kitchen! Dad set up a Lego table outside while we fried turkeys and we all got a good talking and sipping in! The Farmers showed up later and by then we were at the campfire getting sticky with smores! The Kareoke machine was kicking, we swung and pushed and circled the sinkhole many times! Black Friday Becca and I went on a 6 mile run to Grandpa's farm and back and then we were fortunate to be present to see the neighbors skin a deer they hunted! Jason sees lessons in everything and this time it even yielded us dinner! Mom fried us up venison and we ate it with gravy over grits and a salad! Katie and I took our girls shopping and that was a hoot! Saturday brought us the victorious win at Doak and there was much pregame celebrations at Becky's house! Mom and Dad watched the kids and we relieved them at halftime. We didn't really want to leave a good game, but we had 4 Eddie Vedder tickets at will call in a Jacksonville theatre waiting on us! It was of course, magical the way I thought it would be! The kids really enjoyed it and it was very acoustical! At the encore I hoisted Elsie and we ran down to get a closer look at Eddie! He got a closer look at us and even passed back a guitar pic to the little girl! Unfortunately a rude concert goer stole her pic but it was nice to be noticed just the same! Wil said we should go back so his sister could get another guitar pic!
