Our Thanksgiving celebration includes a touch football game among the cousins that has become a favorite activity for all ages! The Bo-Willie Reunion takes place at Camp Marannook in Alabama, a Christian camp run by Aunt Barbara and Uncle Charles. The families sleep in cabins not far from the lake. There is a football field with lines and a big turkey painted in the grass in the middle. The older uncles have graduated to referees and one rule is that every player gets a turn at carrying the ball. The aunties and grandmothers sit in the non-stands(really a sloping hill with a picnic blanket) and the toddlers take turns rolling down the hill. It is great fun and terrific exercise to fuel the appetite for the big meal!
After a nap, we reassemble to have a family worship time of guitar music, old hymns and testimonies to the LORD's blessing in our lives. These traditions have been going on for over 30 years, but it will be the first since Granny B arrived in heaven. We will all miss her greatly, but continue to welcome many new little lives into our family circle!
