I have to show you Danny's Native American project on the Seminole Indians that he turned in on Friday. He was so excited and a little nervous about giving a speech on it to his class, but he did just fine.
On Saturday, after early morning karate, we went out to Bradley's Country Store for Bradley's Fun Day, which is always held the Saturday before Thanksgiving. When we got there, we were so hungry that we immediately headed for the Bradley's booth where they had their fresh sausage dogs.
If you've never had Bradley's fresh sausages, they are definitely a local spicy treat. Bradley's Country Store sells the fresh pork sausages on a regular basis, but on Fun Day, they had a huge grill where they cooked enormous amounts of their sausages. Mmm, mmm, good.
All throughout the field beside the store, vendors sold food and country goods to what seemed like all the residents of Tallahassee. After the sausage dog, we got cheese steak, fried pickles, chicken and fries, kettle corn, and a gyro.
The hardest part about eating all of this good food was fighting off the bees that seemed to hover everywhere. Country crafts were available for sale, including our favorites, these "redneck wine glasses"
which are really mason jars on stems. Too funny!
One booth had handmade pottery sold by the potter. We loved the uniqueness of the pieces, and I added this piece to my little collection of pieces from the mountains.
We had a good time, but the bees were too much. We had to leave, but I got this shot of George and the kids next to the lake at Bradley's Retreat.
It was a beautiful day, and we enjoyed the rest of it at home with Harley. We cleaned up a little , the kids played
(Danny played boy scout, and no, that isn't a pacifier - it's a ring pop), and we changed out the chalk decoration in Danny's room from Halloween
to Thanksgiving.
Sunday, after church, the two George Creamers and Zachary pressure washed the house (and George's shirt unfortunately) to get it ready for Christmas decorations. The very best part of the weekend? A trip to Walgreens where Danny picked up a Justin Bieber toothbrush that plays "Baby, Baby, Baby, Oh! Like Baby, Baby, Baby, Oh!"

I would love some spicey grilled sausage and I miss Bradley's country store. Alas, I must toil without spicy deliciousness. On the plus side I have no bee problem. Danny looks a little Justin Bieberish with his wispy hairdo and Megan is looking like a little lady. Sigh. Have a Happy Thanksgiving!!!
They are so good. It's a shame we don't go there more often. I would imaging that the bees would be long frozen in your neck of the woods. He desperately needs a haircut! I'll tell him you said so - he'll sing the song all the time then. They are growing up so fast, as I know yours are too. You have a Happy Thanksgiving too! I miss you!
