We spent our Thanksgiving Day a little different than we have in past years. Stan, a friend Tyson, Tyler, and Trevor spent it in Detroit at the Lions game. It was a surprise for the boys. Tyler was so mad that morning because we had told him that Stan wanted to take Tyson (who attends Bluffton college) out for breakfast at Denny's. Well, Tyler thinking there is only one Denny's that he knows of and that is in Dundee, MI. He was having a FIT! "Why are we driving all that way for breakfast?" I told him that is what Dad wanted, so just do it, so he did. They got to Dundee and the Denny's was no longer there. You can imagine what Tyler was doing by this point! He had gotten up before 7:00 am to drive over an hour to eat breakfast and now the place was closed! They ended up at a McDonalds and a VERY GRUMBLING teenager! So as Tyler was grouching about driving so far when they could have eaten in Montpelier, Stan put the Lions tickets in front of him. When he turned around to see them and realized he'd been set up, he freaked out! Even though the Lions stink (as usual), Stan has always been a loyal fan and has dreamed of going on Thanksgiving Day to the game.
Ford Field... Stan did say it was nice to yell at the actual people rather than the TV!! LIKE THEY HEAR HIM EITHER WAY!!! LOL
Taylor and I spent the day with the Youngs and we had a GREAT time. Sabine and I played the Wii, which I had never played before and it was SO MUCH FUN!!
We were racing cows! IT WAS HILARIOUS!

Then later that weekend we had the Shipman Thanksgiving and on Sunday I took the kids to Kalahari water park for the night.
This is Taylor going down the big bowl (we called it the toilet bowl!)
In our room later that night, Stan stayed home, so it was just the four of us
