Thanksgiving 2018 - A Gentry Family Reunion*

This Thanksgiving, I flew out to my uncle and aunt's house in northeastern Iowa, and my grandmother also joined us for the vacation - so it's kind of a Gentry family reunion? (*Except my mom wasn't there, nor was the rest of my immediate family, so it wasn't a full family reunion. But, you know, I had that other family reunion post, so...)

RAWR, I'm not cute!

I'm a scary dinosaur! Look at my sharp claws!

...and my long neck!

so, I didn't leave on Sunday...

we drove to Lake Mills for a lunch date



Laura and her sister, Kathy
I had a great time with my family and am so thankful that I got to spend time with them and the animals and visit their place again! (It is nice to finally be back, though, after so many cancellations and delays.)

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!
