Thanksgiving in Virginia

We spent Thanksgiving at my parents house in Virginia, we're still here so it's only a partial story.

We left our house Wednesday after I got off work and drove through the night. Surprisingly Ben and Simba did ok in the back seat together. The only problem came when it was my turn I was having trouble staying awake, so I only drove about 200 miles. Then Nick, who decided trying his gps thing on his phone without printed directions was a good idea, ended up taking us on a detour of downtown Richmond.

We had Thanksgiving dinner on Friday since Thursday we were a little out of it. My Dad and Nick have been out hunting most days. They haven't gotten anything yet but your not allowed to take a doe yet so that rather limits things.

Ben has started saying Grandma and Grandpa, much to my parents' delight. He's keeping everyone on their toes. My Mom gets a real kick out of his thing about saying Hi and Bye whenever he leaves or enters a room.

Simba is doing great off leash. I was a little apprehensive about it since at home one squirrel and he's gone. But he's been staying with us, even running after me on the ATV, if he wanders a little too far he'll come when called.

That's the update for now. There's still a few more hunting days left and then the drive home.
