Thanksgiving in Alabama and Arkansas

A week of travel. First we went to Arkansas for hunting and visiting family, and then we headed to Alabama to visit Dave's family for Thanksgiving. My grandparents hosted us and we had a lot of fun, although a one-year-old in the house was a little crazier than Grandpa expected. Ty hunted every day (ducks and deer) and I brought Knox down a couple of times to play with his little friend Lola. Overall Knox travelled very well despite the double ear infection he got right before we left AR.
Alabama is always a lot of fun and we eat and eat. Ms. Mary, Dave's mom, owns a restaurant right next to her house and so we eat there. She cooks some delicious southern dishes and everyone just scarfs them up. The day after Thanksgiving we always eat catfish with fries, onion rings, and hush puppies. Knox really enjoyed getting to taste his first Thanksgiving meals. They have lots of dogs, chickens, a goat, and two cats; you can imagine how that kept Knox entertained.
