The Best Thanksgiving!

Yesterday was an awesome day. Jason's store was closed so he was able to take a stress-free day, not worrying about what might be going on at work while he was off. We got up in the morning, got ready and met our friends Micah and Abby. We set off on our journey to the town of Sopchoppy, Florida where Abby's parents church was hosting a Thanksgiving dinner. Micah and Jason rode their motorcycles and Abby, Micah's family, Caden and I drove behind.
The church was a little country church out in the middle of Wakulla County. It was a potluck meal with bluegrass playing on an old tape player in the back of the room. It was like a scene out of an old southern film. We ate the most awesome food and then went outside to run around and play football. It was the warmest day we've had in weeks. Absolutly gorgeous.
We then went back to Abby's parents house where we lounged around for a bit and everyone played with Caden. Then Abby watched Caden while I took my first ride on the back of our motorcycle. Jason and I cruised around the Florida countryside...it was alot of fun.
Then we went back to the house, did alot of front porch sitting, enjoying the view and the silence of the country....after that we had a big bonfire in the back yard with smoked oysters that we shucked (is that the right word??) ourselves and s'mores with all the church people.
I think it was the most relaxed we've been in a long time.
It was a really awesome day.
Happy Thanksgiving Everybody!
