I forgot to mentioned that Zorro got lost in the woods for about 15-20 minutes. We had taken a group for a camp walk to get out of the building and into the fresh air. He was running and trotting along living his best life when he ran away at some point. He’s done this before where he sees a deer and darts off. He’d never been away for that long and after we’d looked over at least the main areas, he came up the blind man’s trail.

Josh was there and we were on the phone trying to figure out what to do. So that was a huge relief. It was a good thing we took advantage of the warmer weather because we woke up in the morning to several inches of snow. We took our family photos at 1 and had our Thanksgiving meal meal around 2PM. Thankfully my sister regained some of her bandwidth and was able to emcee the ping pong ball tournament and talent show.

I’m mixing up my times, but I think it was in-between those two things when my brother had the idea of making a giant snowman with the kids. He’s experienced with making giant snowmen. So they were outside for several hours and build an enormous snowman using five gallon buckets to make bricks. Everyone participated and did their part. It delayed the talent show for several hours but the kids will remember this.
