Turkey Day in Texas

We traveled to San Angelo last week to celebrate Conlee's first Thanksgiving with Brent's family. It was a long weekend full of fun faces, yummy food and lots of good times. Thanks so much to the Hortons for hosting us! Most of the pictures are on Luke's camera, but here are a few shots from the weekend. 

The whole Horton / Waring clan on Thanksgiving day

Our family at the "Turkey Shoot"! Every Thanksgiving morning, everyone who's anyone in the town gathers for the shortest  party ever! At 10:30 we meet at a local bar in San Angelo for bloody mary's. At 11:00 the owner jumps up on the bar and gives about a 10 minute toast....a culmination of the year's political events, a summary of local highlights, etc. Then everyone takes a tequila shot and goes home for lunch. I've been hearing about this tradition for years, but it was my first time to be there. It was definitely a weekend highlight!

It was COLD in San Angelo! Thanks, Mia, for letting us borrow your precious hat. Conlee put it to good use on our morning walks!
