Every other year we get together with 60+ of our closest extended family members. We all meet at Camp Dawson and spend the better part of 4 days eating, sleeping, playing games (all sorts), talking, eating and watching football. While all of the excitement can be exhausting, we are already looking forward to Thanksgiving '11 when everyone will come with their sleeping bag and favorite Thanksgiving dish to share and catch up on the last 2 years.

There will always be hamburgers and hotdogs for lunch on Friday. You never know how many people will be out there "getting the fire ready."

Travis wasn't the only one catching a nap where ever possible. Joshua made the most of Nana rocking him and got a few extra minutes of shut-eye.
The food line
If we could read Joshua's thought bubble it would say, "I can't believe how much food he got on that plate."
