Thanksgiving in Mentone,AL

This week the kids have been out of school for the whole week to celebrate Thanksgiving. On Wednesday our family along with Papa, Nana, and the Puryear Family (the Coon Family was in NYC) went to Mentone, AL for a few days (thanks to one of Michelle's friends). The cabin was a real "log cabin" which meant COLD. Sure glad we had plenty of firewood (Shawn loves making fires).
