Thanksgiving week

Monday through Friday (Nov 21-25) we stayed at a little cabin near Mineola, TX. There was a fishing pond right behind the cabin and hundreds of acres to explore.

Tucker was in heaven: running around without a leash, sniffing everything in sight, and getting covered in ticks.

There was plenty of space to play. The only problem is that it rained most of the time we were there.

The owner, Chris, took us on a tour of his property on his gator ATV. First, we brought treats to the longhorns.

Thanksgiving dinner consisted of prime rib rather than turkey because I only eat meat a few times a year so it needs to be GOOD when I do!

Before we left on Friday, we hiked over to edge of the property where it touches the dairy farm next door. The farm sells raw milk products and we stopped by Wednesday to buy some yogurt and chocolate milk. They were DELICIOUS! There was a donkey in with the cows and he came right up to us.

Since it was pouring rain on Thanksgiving, Carter had to do his Turkey Trot after we got home on Friday.
