Thanksgiving, Part 3
We just got home from this place called Louisville. It's somewhere in Kentucky and it's really cold there. We drove down Thursday morning, and when we got to our hotel all of my cousins from up north were there, too! (I guess they like the cold.) Plus Grandma and Grandpa Graybill were there, and my Great Aunt Kay (Grandma's sister) and my Great Uncle Olen (they're great!).
Well we all drove across the street to a big ballroom where they were serving another big Thanksgiving feast! The food wasn't as good as Mommy's or Grandma Bare's, but I had turkey and stuffing and all that stuff again (yum!) and it was all pretty good.
But the best part was that we all got to sit together at this one giant long table. There were about 100 of us there, and the table was so long that when I looked down to the far end of it I could see the curvature of the Earth.
Aunt Nicole and Uncle Richy were there too, and they sat on our end of the long table along with my Cousins Brooklyn, Hayley and Andrea. I had to sit across from my goofy cousin Rick -- he kept asking me if I wanted some wine, but I didn't. (He is pretty funny, though.)
After our big meal on Thursday, we all went back to our hotel and I got to go for a swim in the pool! That was big fun, even though the water was a little cold. I spent the evening with my Grandma while Mommy and Daddy played cards and games with my cousins -- I think they had fun but I had even more fun.
On Friday during the day we hung around the hotel and I had a nice long nap. Then in the evening we all went to downtown Louisville to see the Christmas lights. They didn't have very many lights when we go there, but we went into the Hard Rock Cafe for a bite to eat and when we came back out they had put up lights everywhere! There were thousands of them! It was really cool.
