THANKSGIVING TRADITION

My dad does NOT go shopping the day after Thanksgiving- His "day after" Tradition is going FISHING up in Cascade(leaving at around 4 a.m.!!!) He has been following this tradition for 33 years now. He would take ALL of us when we lived at home- but now he takes whoever is willing and wanting to go. Those who are consistant at going with my dad are my brother Randy, my Uncle Terry, cousin Terrell, and my son Eric. (this year Nicole and Rachel went also). I think there are probably only 2 years that they have missed! It is such a strong tradition - that my Uncle Terry and his son Terrell got up and went on Thanksgiving morning since Terry was having knee surgery the day after and didn't want to miss out!!!

THANKS DAD AND RANDY FOR TAKING ERIC AND NICOLE -
YOU ARE THE BEST!!!
